Thanks, Google, but it's just not the same.

If you go to google.com and type in "let it snow" without quotes, it starts snowing in your open window.

Thanks, Google!

That's fun & all, but it's just not the same as real snow out my real window. Maybe soon...

(Thanks @DougHaney for the hint.)

The snow will come eventually.

Snowfall totals in Summit County, Colorado are meager these days.

But the snow will come eventually. Keep the faith.

And if your schedule is flexible, you might want to pick up the Copper Mountain Snow Day Pass. You pay $99 for the pass, and you can ski/ride at Copper on any day when they receive 4 or more inches of snow.

Many call this the best pass deal of the season.

Cheap Ski Deals Can Still Be Found!

You don't have to be a trust-fund kid to be able to afford to ski in Colorado this season...

$37.00 per day for the Legends 4-Pass at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area.

$37.50 per day for a 4-pack at Eldora Mountain Resort. (No limit on the number of 4 packs you can buy, but they are non-transferable.)

$32.25 per day for a 4-pack at Loveland Ski Area. No limit on the number you can buy, and these lift passes are transferable.

$10 per day for one February day of skiing at Ski Cooper, if you buy a Colorado Gems Card.

Or you can hitchhike along US6 for as many free back-country runs off Loveland Pass as you can handle.

From "Never-Ever" to Stem Turns in 2.5 Hours

Congratulations to my new friend, Tony, from Sydney, Australia who learned to ski this week.

Happy 50th Breck!

The world needs more people like the Bullards.

Wanda Bullard, whose front-porch story-telling was the inspiration for The Moth, died this past week. Watch this video and remember with me why the world needs more people like the Bullards.
