Snow is amazing in late March!

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Went skiing at Mary Jane on Sunday and could not believe how light and powdery the snow still is.  Started out at 9am and was surprised to find the snow was not “bullet-proof” the way it can get sometimes in the spring.  The sun shone all day but the temperatures stayed cool enough to keep the snow perfect.  We had lunch on the deck at the Club Car and played all afternoon on the slopes.  Could not be more amazing….

Snowshoeing Adams Falls

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Went on the snowshoe trail to Adams Falls and above.  This is one the easiest access points in Rocky Mountain National Park.  Temps where in the high 40s so we didn’t even wear coats and shed our gloves.  The Falls are not running yet but you can hear the water gurgling underneath the ice and snow.  Spectacular views of Mt. Baldy made for some great pictures!

Skiing at the Grand Lake Nordic Center

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Went cross country skiing at the Grand Lake Nordic Center….which is the golf course in the summer.  They have a comfy clubhouse with hot soup and snacks.  The trails were groomed perfectly and the views were spectacular!  We had the dog with us so spent all our time on miles of dog loops. There’s a cute little tubing hill for the kids, too.
