We had total accumulations of between 4 and 8 inches of
heavy wet snow overnight. The winner was Copper Mtn resort with 8 inches. It
was a partly sunny start to the day. In an attempt to beat the holiday crowd,
we went to Keystone at 8:30am and we were lucky to get a GREAT parking spot
right in front of the free parking lot. There wasn't any long lines at the
lifts as we got started and so our first few runs we had the trails to
ourselves. But by 11:30am, the people were out, many with their families, and
we called it a day. Also, many of the trails weren't groomed overnight and this
was another factor in our quitting early. As we headed down Schoolmarm to cut
over to Paymaster, I noticed a bright yellow sign designating Schoolmarm a
Family Ski Trail. Maybe this is designed to make sure the beginners stay on the
right trail. I the evening we went to
the Dam Brewery to compare notes on where to ski tomorrow. For the most part,
yesterday's snow is all melted and with the forecast for temps near 50, we will
have to ski the upper half of any resort we go to.
