the good news?....steady snow has been falling for 48 hours now...not heavy, but steady..the bad news?..unprecedented and sustained cold temps, like we see in New England, but rarely here....todays temps are -12 to a high of 8.....normal is 20ish at night and mid 30's during the day...being New Englanders we are used to it but many out here are not liking this at all....the tourists dont look too happy either

Yeah, the boy will be at Vail today with some buddies and said it's getting cold. Time to cover up all skin. Good part is it'll keep the crowds down.

I'm getting the same report from my wife in Beaver Creek. They have had 19" in the last three days, but she says it's so cold it's just not worth getting out.

I'm flashing back to the time I was a fairly new and enthusiastic Northeast skier and I'd try to get as many runs in as possible. I actually tried to ski Gore Mountain on the weekend that the cold temperature record for New York State was set (55 below). On a beautifully sunny day, the wind-chill at the top was 105 below! I took one very cold run and called it a day.

My son said it was not worth the drive due to cold, windy, whiteout conditions yesterday. But there was a foot of powder and some nice turns on North Rim. Detours both ways on I-70. He's meeting a college buddy tomorrow who's vacationing at Breck for another try. The weather should be easier to take. He's cleverly arranged his schedule for 4-day weekends.
