The high country everywhere got a good amount of snow yesterday. I certainly had some fun coming home from Keystone through Eisenhower Tunnel.

Here are some ski area shots from around the west. Of particular interest here I think are the Teluride ones at the bottom of the page. The leaves look to be holding up!

More local photos

And by the way, Wolf Creek will open this weekend due to the 3 feet of snow they got yesterday and more expected this weekend.

I wish I had that Telluride shot without the town included! Thanks for sharing Mel. We have snow right now in Parker, and it's already collected on the grass. The weatherman said 6000' and above and we're at 5920', so they were right on.

Well winter sure came quickly. Right now I am happy to be safely below 6000ft.

I said the San Juans would need a yardstick for measurement (see storm post below)--the weatherman never lies! :wink: :biggrin:

I just got back from the San Juans and it was wonderful! Lots of color and lots of snow!
