Sorry no skiing yet. But thought I'd start a thread for this year as I had reason to be up at the mountain today anyway.
I think they have enough snow made to open, though it would be just barely. Not to mention super warm temps Sun-today (supposed to cool off finally sometime tomorrow). It was 55F this afternoon and they are keeping the piles as whales to keep the thermal mass. Though the Mtn biking has been good when I can sneak it in.
Otherwise hot and dry...
The other not exactly ski related news is the big fire that destroyed literally ~half the businesses in the town of Nederland a few weeks ago (population ~1500). All I know is that knowing some folks that live right behind the grocery who woke up and took pics before even the fire dept was there is that the fire started somewhere on the 2nd story of the only big plaza in town. The only good news was that there was no wind that night so the next door grocery store for example was saved. No idea if the story made it beyond Denver area though.
