The first day of winter has arrived in the Vail Valley! I left my house this morning at 6:30am headed to spin class with a balmy calm cloud covered sky, but when I left the gym at 8:15am the winds were blowing and the snow was flying! Woo-hooo, winter!!
If you watched the poor Denver Broncos get crushed by the Oakland Raiders yesterday, you know that the only good thing that came from watching that game were the shots of the skiers at opening day at Loveland Ski Area. And with today being opening day at Arapahoe Basin this storm couldn’t have come at a better time. "A-Basin" opened to 9 inches of fresh snow this morning on top of the snow they've been blowing for the past month, with more coming down all day!
We Coloradans are funny people, we get all giddy and pumped when the snow starts to fly, dreaming of the powder days to come this 2010-2011 ski season. If today is just a taste of what’s to come this winter, you better tune those skis and snowboards up and get ready to have the time of your life!
