There has been quite a bit of snow here for a while now. The last series of storms and those that we are experiencing right now have sealed the deal on what appears to be great skiing for the Holidays.
Ski Cooper opens on the 19th. We have season passes again and are ready to get on the mountain. Even with the "Epic Pass" for Vail/BC being sold at such a discounted price, the cost for three kids and two adults was more than we were willing to spend. If we lived in the Eagle Valley we would have bought them, but the cost along with the drive made it impractical.
Our Christmas visitors (Sean and family) will be here in a few days (19th). I don't believe they will be disappointed with the snow. It will probably take them a few days to acclimate to the altitude (10,152 ft) in Leadville, but I'm sure they will be OK. I'll assign them each a snow shovel and that should speed up the process.
Expect to see lots of skiing photos soon. I'll hopefully have another elk photo soon. My late season cow tag started on the 15th and continues until 1/15.
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!
