Annual digging out the grill (lots of snow)

For my friends that live on the Front Range of Colorado, we still have snow up in these hills.

I had wanting to possibly grill out "soon", so I started the process of "finding the grill".



For those who study snow pack, the first couple of pictures show the different snow events. As you can see December (early in the season) we had lots and lots of snow. Then our spring was less, with a couple of dust storms in between.

Even though it is snowing now, the snow will start to melt fast. The grills are in the shade, but a little solar energy should melt around the grill just fine.

Now that skiing is done her (at least lift access), snow events don't excite me as much. :)

Cold and Powder Skiing and Snow Work

After a little snow work at the homestead I went out and got fresh lines on Chair 9. Did three laps on 9, but with this many people waiting at the bottom, it got track out fairly quickly.



However, my run down the Plunge was GREAT! (smiling now as I write this), but it was a bit COLD. Anyone that as rode Chair 9, knows it is a long and cold lift.

So after 3 laps on 9, I went over to Chair 6 and did a few runs over there. The fog was damp and cold, but provided some funky lighting on Zulu Queen.


I got home, took a nap and finished off my snow work. More snow is coming, so I wanted to get a good start on it. Below is our driveway down to the road.
