When we were little we used to say "Winter Rules"...kind of a motto. Where my house is in the South we had a lot of 33f and rain not much fun in that and it was uncommon to get people to join me out in the snow.
Sounds like you will have a lot of fun, it was the best snow I can remember. The weather can be very different on the Eastern Slope VS the High Country, I 70 has been problematic and the plows are overwhelmed, if you get into Denver and see a window to get up into the mountains take it! They have been setting off Avalanches along 70 closing the highway for hours. If your heading down South and over , 24 hasn't been so bad with the exception of Battle Mountain. They are saying avalanche danger is at a historic high, we have received 130% of annual snow fall and it's snowing in Leadville now and every day this week it looks like. The images were taken on the East side of Independence Pass which closes over Winter...the only other person I saw back there was CAIC Colo. Avalanche Information and Control... neither of us lingered back in there.
At Camp Hale main, they hadn't plowed the parking for a while now so spent Sunday helping the folks exiting the Hut System get out...everything got very wet so was glad my sleep system dried the gear out by morning. Snow shoes with tails sunk about 3' deep before a purchase and venturing away from camp you could end up chest deep if you weren't stepping softly. Nobody to bother you though
