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.
