January 2, 2009 Denver Colorado
Temp was in the mid to upper sixties today and it felt like Spring. Had an opportunity to take a few shots, for those of you who have been to the Mile High. 
1) Pike's Peak in the distance
2) Denver skyline
3) Denver skyline x2
4) For those of you wondering, that's my office.

The sky is so clear in the pictures because nobody was in Denver...they were all west-bound on I-70 to go skiing...it took me 2.5 hours to go from the on ramp at C470 West to Georgetown...what is normally a three hour drive took 5.5 hours...
But the weather on the Front Range was nice, I agree...today, it was 15°F and snowing on the Roan Plateau...tomorrow, wind chills of -15°F are anticipated...

With the amount of traffic on I-70 these days your time is better spent taking the northern route through Cameron Pass to Steamboat Springs to get some quality skiing in. Took me less than 4 hours, door to door from Ft. Collins, to get up there. Coming back was just the same. Better scenery, too.

SD, didn't know you worked for AMR! They have contracts here in NC now, been seeing more of them in the area lately. Would you recommend them? I am going to be looking for an agency to go to work here with pt while I finish up Paramedic.........

Ah, it's been years since I've been to Elitchs! Had some good times there as a kid.
My sister works for AMR, too, but down in the Springs.

(Post has been delayed by powder rapture)!!!
Left Greeley at 0735, went through 40+degree Denver before 0900, hit the first snow flurries just east of Idaho Springs. Berthoud, Loveland and Vail pass were all closed. I-70 was closed at the Copper Mtn exit. Traffic was good all the way up til a mile before the Copper exit. We were on the American Eagle lift by 1130. 18 inches of powder, and it snowed all day!!!! There were 4 inches of new snow on my buddies truck when we made it back to the parking lot around 5.......a little buzzed, and my legs feel like I squatted an M-1 tank for reps! It sure was weird hitting Denver at 2000hrs (after a brief stop in Beau Jos in Idaho Spgs) and seeing the temperature still 50+ degrees.
FWIW, it can keep up this weather pattern as long it wants, dump on the mountains, and let me wear shorts and a t-shirt on my off days!
I have a WP/Copper Patriot pass,w 6 days at Steamboat....anyone up for a run up to the hills????

I'll be passing through there MLK weekend running between Colorado Springs and Cheyenne.
I love the view from my house in Fountain, CO of the Front Range between Cheyenne Mtn and Pike's Peak.. Damn, Bragg sucks.... no frigging view.

I was out there riding the mountains from the 3rd through the 7th. We rode Vail on the 7th and had probably 6 inches of powder, which was amazing to me! (MN only has ice on hills, which are more like piles of dirt) If only I could have stayed one more day for 18 inches!

I hope you weren't the poor guy who guy fell through the chair lift when getting on. His ski caught on the chair, and suspended him upside down, pants around his knees for about 10 min before they could get him down.
