It's Snowing in Colorado - Finally!

For the folks partying in the “snow” in Key West (see our previous post), and for Amherst locals who are starting to forget what snow looks like after last year’s paltry showing, here’s some photos of the real thing, taken yesterday by Dan and Elaine Vardamis, who live high in the mountains of Nederland, Colorado. They’ve just had their first bona fide snowstorm of the season (even there it was late in coming), and apparently where there is snow, there is skiing – lots and lots of skiing!  

If you are planning a trip to Colorado and want to follow the latest snowfall forecasts, you will find incredible detail at Meteorologist Joel Gratz’s website, The Colorado Daily Snow. I am told that Joel is basically the skiers' local man in Boulder. He does daily updates, and has an array of snowfall charts to keep you occupied. And if you’re curious about how Dan and Elaine live when they’re not playing in the snow (hint: they spend A LOT of time in the snow) check out Dan and Elaine’s blog on skiing, hiking, and life in the mountains.
