Well this storm definitely delivered! In 36 hours I would say we got a solid 22-24” here in Marble. Hard to tell because the last round was wet and everything compressed. But the webcams at Aspen show big numbers. The Aspen base cam had a line down the stairs at 8:15. They opened 20 new trails since yesterday when I checked. After shoveling out our property (and our neighbor), I took my XC skis and skied my neighborhood. One street was plowed but most of it was untouched. Just a lot of animal tracks. This time of year my house does not see a lot of sunshine, only about 3 hours. So on sunny days, we try and sit out for the solid 20 min or so it bakes our porch. And here it is! Our full 20 min of sunshine.

Stussy was definitely popular. I had a few shirts. The local surf shops would get in a few pieces and be sold out quickly.

Yeah, I realized that was wrong as soon as I typed it 😂

Hi my name is Barb and I am a ski town all star hat addict. I believe this one makes 6. I wanted to break in my new hat and grr we some cardio so I went to Buttermilk to uphill. It is not yet opened. There was what looked like a groomed section (as wide as a groomer truck) in the center. But since it snowed last night about 5”, I decided to follow the path of the “main” uphill route that is signed. I didn’t go too far, maybe 2 steep head walls? Broke trail the way up and down, which was fun. I have a nagging injury from my dog pulling me down on the ice. But it was a sunny day, about 25 degrees and I saw one human when I was coming down. Still gonna log it, i was on snow for over a mile so it counts.

Yes but prefer the wood stove. My husband always cuts a lot of wood so why not.

The daily happenings of living rural. The road off the highway to my neighborhood is 4 miles of twisties. Some sections are always icy because they don’t get sun. A propane truck skid off the road into the river the other day. Surprisingly the driver was just banged up. Yesterday they closed the road all day to extract the truck.

I would never last for NHN. Had our woodstove going all day for several weeks now. Tomorrow’s forecast…chilly

I don’t like Copper early season as that one run really funnels into a skinny shit show at the bottom. I really want to ski but will wait until more runs are open. If Aspen or Snowmass fills in more I may do a skin up before they open for the season. They have such a great uphill policy.

As much as I want it to be, my neighborhood is not yet skiable. I went up the hill to the wilderness boundary. Uphill was ok. 10’ downhill and crunch crunch of rocks. So i side walked down. my uphill neighbor’s off grid shed/cabin. He lived here all summer but moved out when the snow started. Beyond the cabin is the Ragged’s Wilderness boundary

Dropped my skis off for a pre season tune this morning. Measurable snow on the way next week!

Guns on at Abasin last night. Been in low to mid 30’s every morning at my house. We have been starting fires in the mornings to take the chill off.

Great pics Shadows! Glad you are enjoying yourself! Are you staying in one of the cabins in the park? Hard to tell.
