Yet another beautiful and warm day. Mountain temps hit 41 at the top and 49 at the base. UV index has been at 10 for the last 5 days. The girls came out in their bikinis but I didn't have my camera. The snow continues to melt AWAY. However, the forecast beginning on Thursday calls for SNOW, SNOW and more SNOW thru Sunday. Skiing in these conditions are good, but you have to call it a day by 2:30pm. One more day of sun tomorrow.
It is hard to image that less than 4 days ago temps were below zero. This morning it was +21. What a difference. After church, we went for a walk on the lake. Even a light jacket was too much. Even Benny was trying to cool down. In the afternoon, the Kite Skiers were trying to do their thing, but the wind wasn't there. The kites all laid on the ground, the kids started to party.
Today was a light jacket day. Temps in the 20s and 30s, perfect for snow shoeing. The trails were well marked and not many people on the trails. After snow shoeing, we returned home to watch the Kit Sking contest on Lake Dillon.
I guess -13 degrees is the lucky number. That's how cold it was again this morning. We went to Keystone and only a few more cars in the parking lot but fewer on the slopes. Again we had the slopes to ourselves. With the frigid temperatures snow that falls on the trees remain frozen on the tree limbs. At the end of the day, we watched the grooming snow cats come up the mountain and start their daily routine of preparing the trails for tomorrow.
