The snowbirds are already shivering in their shoes, but skiers and snowboarders are cheering the arrival of the season's first snow in Colorado's high country. Above is a photo taken at Copper Mountain yesterday morning (Monday, September 21). Denver television 10:00 p.m. news last night carried such reports as snow-hungry locals in nearby Breckenridge seen around town in their ski duds, carrying their boards, and Loveland fired up its snow guns yesterday (below). And this morning's newspapers printed first-snow-of-the-season pictures too. It's a perpetual early-opening ski area -- historically often the first in the nation, in fact.
If you are eager to follow the Colorado snow, sign up for Colorado Ski Country USA's snow report that will be E-mailed to you every day. Vail Resorts Inc. is not a CSCUSA member, so for reports from Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and Keystone, download VRI's be-the-first-to-know desktop snow alert. Some resorts send out individual snow conditions blasts via E-mail or to iPhones and/or maintain Twitter accounts. Other ski states and ski resorts have similar services, but I'm in Colorado, and yesterday's snowfall reports were what I fell asleep to and woke up to.
