Wind, Snow, Warm, Cold ... weird weather

It's been strange out here in Steamboat. It's been mostly cold and snowy...since early December. But we have also had lots of wind. Today they closed ALL the lifts due to wind. We've never seen that since we've been out here. The lifts reopened by 10am, so it was not a total loss. The last two days it has warmed up enough that I was able to run outside for the first time all winter...again, not a total loss. Here are some recent pictures for you.

Snow, snow and more snow

It has been quite a month here in Steamboat. It has snowed practically every day, and we have been out in it up to our waists.

We have not seen much sun, but we sure have seen the snow, wind, fog, and cold temps. Just like we like it out here in the mountains. Check out Joani skiing thru the powder in video below.
