I woke up today to the first snow of the year at my house in Steamboat Springs. It is a good feeling to open the blinds and find that winter is rapidly approaching. We still have 35 days until Steamboat opens for the season, until then I’ll keep watching the snow fall and riding the resorts in summit county that open earlier.

When I first visited Colorado I was amazed how the snow fell. I was used to Washington where it was overcast a lot. But in Colorado the clouds will drop, dumping a ton of snow at a time and then rise…bringing out the sunny blue skies again.

I am planing with friends to go in Aspens (Highland, Snowmass) and than the week after in Vail…
So far the first two weeks of February 2009.
Is that a good season timing in Colorado? (for Powder accumation)

Sweet trip you have planned. February is a good month to count on for powder days. Plus spending the time between Aspen mountains and then Vail you should have a good time and get a couple epic days in there.

I’m stoked because we got some boxes ready to setup and stuff, but working on my car when there’s a foot of snow on it.. and under it.. not quite fun.
