The BIG news today are the Colorado Wildfires are burning thousands of acres. The fire started yesterday after a controlled burn last week got out of hand. Many homes have burned to the ground and 2 people have died. The area is south of Denver and with the lack of snow/rain is causing this fire to remain out of control. Summit county will probably have its driest March on record. On March 1-3, we had about 1/2 inch of snow, followed by 14 days of sun/mild temps. On March 18-19, we had 0.03 inches of snow. Since then we have had 8 days of sun and warm temps, with the remaining days of March - no SNOW/RAIN in the forecast.
This morning with went to A-Basin hoping that conditions would be a LITTLE better. The base of this resort is at 10,700 feet and rises to 13,000 feet. But while conditions were a LITTLE better, it wasn't worth the risk of injury. We skied down to the base and had lunch. The snow thru out the mountain ranges is melting very quickly and many of the resorts may be closing early.
