Boy WHAT a morning! During the early morning a storm front came thru with over 90 MPH winds and heavy blowing and drifting snow.. About 5am, we lost power but quickly came back in about 1 hour. It was BLIZZARD conditions thru the morning hours until 10am. However, we decided to take a chance and go skiing anyway. We put on extra clothes and arrived at an empty parking lot at Keystone. We went to the Mountain house to make our way to the Argentine lift. There was plenty of new snow to make FIRST tracts but the wind started blowing again.
We made it til 1pm, and then the conditions forced us to stop. The wind would stop us in our tracts and it became dangerous. There are avalanche warnings all over Summit county and with 7 more days of snow on the forecast, it doesn't seem it will get better.
