Drove over Vail Pass this afternoon,raining in town of Vail at 8150' but snowing pretty good at pass level 10600'. Unusual to see it rain this early in springtime.Pulled in lot,coverage still looks good, guessing to be about 3'-4' packed base of go anywhere snow.Vail and Copper ski areas are reporting un-compacted bases 49" and 63".Winter Storm warning thru Thursday.
...WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM MDT
THURSDAY...
* TIMING...SNOW WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT AND DECREASE LATE THURSDAY.
* SNOW ACCUMULATIONS...5 TO 12 INCHES...WITH THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS
ALONG THE FRONT RANGE MOUNTAINS SOUTH OF I-70.
* IMPACTS...PERSONS PLANNING TRAVEL INTO THE COLORADO HIGH
COUNTRY SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS...
SLOW TRAVEL...SNOW PACKED OR SLUSHY ROADS...AND POOR
VISIBILITY IN SPOTS.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR HEAVY SNOW MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF
SNOW ARE FORECAST THAT WILL MAKE TRAVEL DANGEROUS. ONLY TRAVEL IN
AN EMERGENCY. IF YOU MUST TRAVEL...KEEP AN EXTRA FLASHLIGHT...
FOOD...AND WATER IN YOUR VEHICLE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.
Haven't rode up at V/P since 2-27 planning on getting some more days in but torn ligament,surgery and cast are slowing me down for now
