Well 8-10 inches of Colorado gold fell last night making for much better conditions on the slopes. However, arriving at keystone we found out that this weekend is SnoFest 2012. This SnoFest is a tribute to all of the men and women in the National Guard and part of the Wounded Warriors program. The parking lot had 10-15 buses loaded with kids that were going to have a good time this weekend.

The good thing was that they were just starting to check into the condo and not going skiing right away. We skied in power until 12 noon when the lift lines started to become crowded. It looks like a great weekend for them.

Also I have included a notice from the Summit police blotter. It is very interesting.

Altercation in the lift line

A young man was arrested this week after an altercation with an elderly couple in the lift line escalated on the mountain.

The man reportedly got into an argument with a couple in a lift line at Keystone Resort Monday morning, according to a report from the Summit County Sheriff's Office.

The couple and the man met again while on the hill, when the younger man reportedly “snow sprayed” the older woman. Her husband, stating he was trying to stop the young man from hitting his wife, sped up behind the younger man and all three crashed, according to the report.

The young man then allegedly took one of the woman's skis and left it elsewhere on the mountain sticking out of the snow.

The man was later arrested and charged with theft $500-$1,000 and crimes against at risk adults for committing theft or any element of the offense in the presence of a victim age 60 or over.
