[...] the impossible. It took a southern route, but only put down a few flakes in the San Juans while handing it to the continental divide with 6-16″ of snow in wrap-around moisture. I love when the weather puts all the weathermen (including me) in our [...]

Oh….dry Gultch is directly north of the Loveland exit heading west on I-70. Park, skin up ~1,000ft, and enjoy the 24-28 degree pow.

I don’t automatically send an email…I usually send two emails (at most) per week when I make big updates, but I don’t like to burden people’s inboxes with the small stuff. That said…an update is coming in 1-2 hours! Berthoud looked GREAT!

Hey Joel, Do you automatically send out an email when you have a new post - I thought you did but did not get one for your latest post. I was at Berthoud on Tuesday and conditions were tremendous except for the occasional avalanche of course. Where is Dry Gulch exactly and where are the pics?

Good for you – Friday should be nice. It’s a toss up between Copper and Winter Park at this point. With 16″ of snow on Sunday night, I’d say Copper might have the better snow all around, and the inches that fall Thursday night will just add to the fun.

Fri/Sat are going to be warm and sunny out at Powderhorn. Sunday is likely to be cloudy with some light/moderate snow moving in by midday – maybe a few inches. It’s fun to check out the smaller resorts…just don’t expect a big pow day.

Loveland look pretty good for Thurs/Fri … maybe 4-8″ by Friday afternoon. Sunday storm is still a little hard to call…it’s heading south then going to produce a good upslope event. What this means for Loveland is still up in the air as these types of storms are hard for the computer models to pin down.
