What a forecast!
This weekend, I'm planning on heading up to the hills for two fun-filled days of great Colorado skiing. Since it snowed a bit in Denver tonight, I figured I'd check the weather forecast:
Thursday Jan 31, 2008: 3 to 4 inches of accumulation
Friday Feb 01, 2008: 3 to 5 inches of accumulation
Saturday Feb 02, 2008: 3 to 5 inches of accumulation
Sunday Feb 03, 2008: 4 to 7 inches of accumulation
Sweet.
Friday Update: It looks like we'll be skiing at Steamboat tomorrow instead. Checkout their Straight Talk Snow Report from this morning:
Snow Report * Time: 02/01/08 05:00 am * Conditions: Powder * Lifts: 16/18 * Trails: 163/163 * 24 Hour Snow: 18" * 48 Hour Snow: 22" * Base: 77" * Total: 308" Steamboat Straight Talk Snow Report: 2/1/08 Good Morning to you, indeed! Remember earlier in the week when we had a loud, brash, windy storm roll through the mountains and bring us snow? Last night while no one was looking, a quiet storm tiptoed in like a whisper, under the cover of darkness, and silently dumped a foot and a half of the choicest "Champagne Powder" while we all slept. All over town, people woke up, looked out their windows, and let out a "Holy Cow"! I could write this report with fill in the blanks, as in... My first run down___________ (insert any trail name) was sweet. I got face shots the whole way. Then I skied over to the __________(insert a run) trees and the snow was just blowing over my head. I think you get the picture. The whole mountain is in epic condition. On one chair ride, my chair mate said, "You know it's a good day, when you hear Monkey noises coming from the forest." Everywhere folks were hootin' and hollerin'. Weekend warriors, don't despair, there is plenty powder left to be skied tomorrow. Have fun. Be safe. Look out for your buddy. Peace.
