Welcome 2013. It's still rather dry here in Chaffee county. Monarch ski area http://skimonarch.com/ seems to have enough snow for the snowboarders and the skiers however. My daughter tells me that the additions at the ski area really help at lunch time.
Here in Salida, we have had some snow, but for some reason I can't figure out how to download the photos today. Anyway, fortunately the weather has warmed a little and its no longer 10 below zero at night.
Tuesday, I am going on a tour of the Salida Hot Springs pool http://salidarec.com/public-pool/ and the Steamplant Event Center http://www.salidasteamplant.com/ with other lodging facilities in town. Then I can let you all know first hand what these places have to offer you as a tourist.
Life and times at a 1950s "mom and pop" motel in Salida, Colorado. Salida is an outdoor enthusiasts paradise. In the summer there is white water rafting, ATVing, mountain biking, hot springs, and hiking. Add shopping to that list of things do to in our darling historic district. Fall offers the changing colors of the trees and big game hunting. Winter there is skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and cross country skiing. Spring and Fall there is great fly fishing.
I'm tired of it being this cold. But you're right, the snow is good for the ski season.
