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. 

Vail (www.vail.com)

Surface Conditions: Powder
Snowfall in last 24 hours: 10in.

Beaver Creek (www.beavercreek.com)

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).

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!

Ok. How do I get a job working for you?

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