It's Dumping in Colorado The mountains and ski resorts are getting dumped on right now. Here in Denver, we have about 3-4 inches and it's still snowing. It started yesterday and it's cold (14°F) right now. Check out this ski report for Vail Resorts this morning.

You can see that 1) there's not much terrain open and 2) it's fricken cold up there. Raible Designs has a "9-inch rule", which means if it snows 9 inches or more, all employees get the day off to go skiing. ;-) I think I'll wait until January to make this a mandatory rule.

Looks like the commute should be fun this morning. Days like today make it nice to have a 20-step commute (40 with a stop at the coffee pot). Posted in General at Nov 29 2004, 06:49:29 AM MST 5 Comments

We spent the weekend in Silverthorne (right near Arapahoe Basin, Breckenridge and Keystone resorts) and over 20 inches of snow fell during that time. What a blast!

Doesn't seem to take long to change. Beaver Creek has 51% of their terrain open now.
