Do it and enjoy. Drive through Price down 6, About 5 to Glenwood Springs + an hour give or take over to Vail - another 40 to Breck.

We live right near 40, so will probably go that way instead. May come back that way though just as an excuse to spend a day or two in Moab; we love it there.

Heard it was so frozen today...I bagged it.
Tomorrow we shall see..

3-4 inches at Sugarloaf. Enough to make it fun. Temps in the mid 20s and most importantly, no wind. Great day.

Didnt even think of attempting it today.

About 2.5 inches down at the moment and snowing hard at 8,000+ feet. I'll take the little one tomorrow and see how it goes.

Just be aware if you have not driven that stretch before, US-40 between Dinosaur and Craig is not a place to be if it's stormy. Clearly marked that road is not touched between sunset and sunrise. Other wise pretty drive over to Steamboat. (about 5 hrs) Seen a lot of Tumble Weed on that section.

I havent been on that stretch, but we'd leave 40 in Dinosaur and cut though Rangely, which is a blink-and-you-miss-it-town as I recall, rather than going near Steamboat, which would be an hour longer according to Google Maps. The only part of this drive I havent done before is about a 75 mile chunk between Rangely and Rifle. I actually love long drives in general, and driving randomly all over the American West is about as good as it gets.

Some east coast skiing today!

I am confused. Isn’t this thread for Rocky Mountain weather reports ?

Yeah, fully intended to go today, but looked at the webcams, weather, etc... and = nope.

Very confusing weather reports lately.
Alta site shows 6 inches coming.
NOAA shows nothing..but there is a winter weather advisory for up to 2 feet.
Cut backs in staff...I guess.

All the Who's down in Who-Ville were whing away on one: Tepid, warm and Gloomy
Who day.
You need to get it cause it's going F.A.S.T.

Separate threads for NE and Utah weather would be a great Enhancement for the 25-26 season

Well I like hearing about the weather east or west. Things are pretty lean here in the east and probably winding down further as we approach Easter. It was a good Northeastern winter even if it doesn't go that deep into spring. Mean while even though I'm not currently there I get a kick watching the web cams at Winter Park where it continues to snow. That's April in Colorado.

God willing I'll be in Winter Park by Saturday night. I've been watching their snow stake get buried again and again over the past few weeks. All that is nice but the think I'm looking forward to the most is the SUN. At this point I'd rather have it be 45 degrees and sunny than a powder day.

Hope your able to get into Denver, then up to the mountains (Berthoud Pass may be hairy or closed if avi danger high) Train may be alternative. Looked like after Saturday things get calmer. Everything except Eagle Wind (closed for season) should be in great shape.

Well you're in luck as high pressure's about to settle into the west.
