What a week it’s been. I have been here in the mountains of Colorado surrounded by family and great friends. There is not a much better feeling than being surrounded by love. It’s an incredible feeling. I want to thank everyone who has made this season amazing. What a ride it has been. Here’s to a great finish to the 2017/2018.

2017/2018 WINTER SNOW SEASON

With only seven weeks, give or take, until closing day the 2017/2018 winter season is flying by. It was a slow start, with a dismal January, but things are in full swing now. Happy times are here again. It’s snowing right now. Get out now before it’s too late.

SNOW CONDITIONS

Resort conditions are solid. This is not a joke, even though some of you think it is. Did you forget it’s snowing. With each new snowfall conditions just get better. Now is the time people. Get off the couch and get your a$$ out there. It’s the best time of the season on the mountain. Get out there and enjoy it. Conditions do not get much better than this. Yes, really.
