The color is a little off because this was the view when my alarm went off at 6am. Of course it was gone by noon.

Cole & I are skiing at Winter Park today and tomorrow, unless the stormageddon predicted for tomorrow keeps us locked up inside. This was taken with Wade’s Cannon Powershot, a much more portable camera. We love the Lunch Spot at the top of Mary Jane because they have great beach chairs set out in the sun. Temp today 50 degrees.

I dropped my cel phone when I crashed on a run today. Fortunately someone turned it in to ski patrol. Unfortunately, I can’t get it back until tomorrow. (see “stormageddon” above. 18 inches predicted for overnight)

Earlier photos from this week will be posted when we get back.

This guy likes to go on the family walk. Mom, kids, dogs on leads and behind them all, follows cat.

He was having a bit of fun hiding behind the rock then attacking one of the dogs.

You know, to keep those cars on their own sides of the street.

The city of Fort Collins plowed it like this, then left. We aren’t on the regular plow route, in fact, this is the first time I’ve ever seen the street plowed.

Brilliant, clear day with the snow making machines adding to the atmosphere.

Taken with the Googlephone, so quality is not great. Also, my face really was  that red. (Ouch!)

The day started out beautifully at Eldora Mountain. By 1pm, we had been through a complete whiteout and the sun was out again. Then the wind kicked up. I’m wearing a bomber hat of real rabbit fur that I gave Wade several years ago. After the dog chewed off the left flap (and part of the brim), he wouldn’t wear it anymore. It is the warmest hat we own, and that counts for plenty with me. The brim is coated with snow & ice, as was the scarf I had around my face. You can see the wind kicking up snow on the bunny hill behind me. After we left, I almost drove into a lake… more whiteout conditions on the road. (Flashbacks of sandstorms on the I-10!)

First skiing of the season at Eldora Ski resort.
