Next weekend, A Basin will end its epic season on July 4th. Continue reading about A Basin Summer Skiing.

Evergreen is a beautiful mountain town located about 40 minutes from Denver. There is a large dammed lake in the middle of town right next to Evergreen Golf Course. The fishing this past weekend was good and we caught two trout. There is a hiking trail that goes around the entire dam in Evergreen. You can fish all around the lake or directly into the dam.

Breckenridge got hit hard this past President's Day weekend, so we decided to head up the night before to dodge the traffic. All affordable hotels were booked up in Summit County, so we stayed 30 minutes south of Breckenridge in Fairplay, CO, aka South Park.

The Rocky Mountains have been getting blasted lately with lots of cold, dry snowfall. I went up to Winter Park Ski Resort yesterday and enjoyed an almost empty Mary Jane Mountain with plenty of quality pow. It was freezing out at less than 0 degrees and a windchill in the negative teens.

I lasted two hours before retreating to Pepperonis (pizza restaurant located at base of Mary Jane) for some Microbrew and a slice of pie.

The 15 inches of fresh powder yesterday at Vail forced me to take the day off and head up to the high country. It was of course worth it, but if you missed out yesterday, no worries. There is snow predicted for the next 5 days at Vail, and around most of the Rocky Mountains.

The Rocky Mountains were blanketed with plenty of fresh snow last night, with lots more predicted through the week. (Vail Weather Report). So, take a day off work and head up to the slopes.
