Baldy in Summit is already white. Plenty of snow up high.

Peak 8 with a bit of snow. The leaves just peaked and the rain (down low) brought many of them down.

This will melt, hopefully, but it is a harbinger of much cooler temps.

Loveland Pass today!!

Loveland Pass just one week ago when we were on trash pickup duty -- good timing...

It was nice and sunny and warm the previous weekend. The only sign of stoke at that time was




Things changed 2 days later with scattered snow showers. Now the good news is, and @tball I know you are happy, snow making starts tomorrow.

I think that calls for a "first to open" thread!

2022 "First to Open" in North America thread

Copper has started their snow guns, so it seemed like a good time to start a "who will be the first to open" thread. Last year I think it was Wild Mountain in Minnesota. Many years, it's been Loveland or A-Basin. So who do you think it will be this year, and when? The usual "rule" is that...

Ha! You've seen one Berner, you've seen them all. They are more popular than Tacomas and Subarus around these parts.

While true, only Parker is the mayor of a CO town.

Don't forget Keystone.

Don't forget Keystone.

They're the new kid on the block. Easy to forget.

English Cream Goldens are the new Berner.

Ok so it is nuking at Wolf. Screen shot of the base live cam. We’re all excited about the 1” winter wonderland around here.

Silverton is showing their usual early face shots photos today. I won't upset anyone with posting them here.

Ok, I can't believe I'm the first to post these:

That'll help snowmaking efforts.

Given the forecast wouldn't be surprised to see Abasin or Keystone spin their lifts next weekend. Loveland probably the following. Couple daytime highs in the mid-high 30s this weekend, but then cooled off again. Nights staying clear and cold should allow for consistent snowmaking.

Plus another storm tomorrow. Not calling for big accums, but this one way over-produced on the Continental Divide.

The question I pose, however, it what is Wolf doing?
