Snowy Colorado
Warren Miller said something like “every minute of every day, somewhere in the world it’s snowing.” Sounds like those snowy minutes are hitting a lot of you guys out there. Yesterday, we got our share here. Looking like a good start to a fine backcountry skiing season!

View from WildSnow HQ this morning.

3 feet in Golden and counting!
Hello! I have acquired a fixation(fixing) tlt vertical st with brakes.
It is possible to use fixation(fixing) is without brakes?
I say it, because in the heel the boot rests in a projection. Rompera this projection of the heel, on having unloaded the weight?
On having bought the fixation(fixing) with included brakes, to remove them I have to change wharves. Is it(he) true?
Thank you very much.
2+ feet in Fort Collins!
Utah has more.
;)
Ohh I live at like 8800 in the middle of the mountains and we don’t even have an inch what the heck! Storm is here but it is not snowing
Anyone getting any in CO yet? I know the Coke Chute on Tioga Pass got skied, by J. Jones and Co.
Glad to hear the rockies are getting it! Just started snowing here in La Grave too.
Careful quoting Warren Miller Lou, you might get sued!!! Ha, ha.
Wanted to pass on this for everybody that still thinks winter “needs saving” to consider…
