Ski Resorts in Colorado are Getting Hit Hard

Hi Joan... just as it's "bad" when there isn't enough snow, it's can be "bad" when there's too much. Not being a skier, a 75 minute wait to get on a lift seems a bit much to me... then again, I'm not patient when it comes to queuing up in any event... including restaurant and do eat! :) Meantime, stay safe and warm in Denver. It's on the cool side here today, but sunny... and we expect yet more rain this week.

I've been hearing about the Colorado snow storms, Joan. Back in the day of slow, 2-person ski lifts I've waited in line at Heavenly Valley for close to 2 hours; very rare today with speedy quads and more. Just goes to show how fabulous Vail is!

Thank you very much, Joan, for telling us about these conditions.

Have an outstanding week.

Same in Washington State at this time with so much snow at the resorts but limited ways to get there. We have wet snow not that wonderful powder you enjoy... 

Happy Sunday Joan Cox 

I have never been skiing and being that I am not very fond of cold weather I don't feel like I am missing out on anything, haha.

We went skiing several years ago in West Virginia and we got so much snow that they closed the ski resort down! It was kind of fun being snowed in at the resort though.

Hi Joan Cox ,

Thanks for sharing this info.  If I'm in Colorado I think I'll be throwing snowballs. 

What a rough time of it!  I guess cross country skiing would be a good option just to get some exercise.
