I know it's early, but damn, we need some snow.

Colorado | OpenSnow

That shit looks like a repeat of last season.

deagol or anyone else thats interested,

I was at Copper today (didn't make it out on Friday). Snow was pretty much as expected. It wasn't too icy to make holding and edge or carving impossible. Not worse than any other opening weekend that I remember. There was little to no snow on the adjacent runs but not like it matters anyway since they normally aren't open for the first couple of weeks regardless.

First trip to Colorado will commence this Wednesday. :roadrage:

Stop off at the Never Summer factory.:snowboard2:

1. Estes Park 1 week :happy: (wife's idea)
2. Breckinridge 1 week
3. Copper 3 weeks

Weather seems to be changing.
Keep the snow coming:hairy:

Estes is a great little town. You'll love it. It's offseason for them and you'll have it to yourselves. Still plenty to do on the eastern side of the park. Pro tip: the moon is still big, do the Gem Lake hike at night once the moon is up good. Moonlit Gem Lake is a top 10 CO hike IMO.

Gem Lake is a must. With the weather coming in, Long's Peak is gonna be out, but you should still be able to do Chasm Lake and it's more than worth it. Definitely head up to Bear Lake and go up to Emerald Lake. You'll pass three other lakes on the way. Definitely go all the way t Emerald. Easy hike with great views.

Bringing both my Panasonic GH3 camera's. Would definitely like to do all that you suggested. This stop has less elevation than Break & Copper so the hikes would be welcomed. Here is my car ready for lift off.
