Where there is coverage, its icy. But mostly low coverage. Not worth it

The snow at Vail is very good compared to other resorts in the area. Keystone is pretty good also as well as Breckenridge but less trails. Beavercreek is not ready for primetime. Snow is soft today. Weather is warm and about 50 trails open. It’s a good time until this weekend when the crowds come

Really nice today, sunny, relatively warm. Decent coverage on the majority of trails and snow is soft and the best in this part of Colorado. 48 trails open. Friday will be the best day as I predict a packed weekend.

Snow is firm. Cold and cloudy. Wait till Thursday when the sun comes back. Lifts are moving with minimal wait.

Quite surprised how good the condition was yesterday. Good coverage on all trails that were open. Crowd wasn’t bad for Sunday. Lift lines moved quickly.

Probably best conditions in the West. 8 inches last night and 31 trails open. Dress warm. Open top to bottom in the front.
