This is one of my favorite autumn photographs, taken with my Nikon Coolpix Camera in early October.
While the East continues to get pummeled with rain and snow, the West has remained warm and dry. Forecasters are finally predicting snow this weekend. From nearly 80 degrees, we will plummet to a low of 9 degrees on Sunday. That’s what I love about Colorado. We get the warm before the storm!
Danny and I will finally hit the slopes. I am hoping for some fresh champagne powder, but at this point, I would settle for anything resembling snow. There are less than 10 runs open in the whole state so I will have my elbows out!
Lets go skiing!
Are you a powder hound or do you prefer warm weather?

We are in Breck right and are hoping that the snow comes our way. It is in the Southwest….
Isn’t it funny how much hype there was about the end of the world and how little is being speculated now that it is getting close! Hahaha!

What an awesome picture. It does hold the power of temptation. A veritable “Garden of Eden” though I couldn’t spot the apple ( yet)! All the best for your next skiing day…….

Thanks so much! We got a couple of runs in yesterday. It is really early and only one run is open so I risked life and limb with so many out there.
There are a couple of trees in the yard and ironically my fridge is full of apples! 🙂
Thanks so much for stopping by!

That is an amazing shot! I prefer cooler weather overall. I like snow, up until around February. Then I’m done with it. Unfortunately that is when Maine gets the most snow, between Feb and April. I would say my ideal weather is in the 60s to 70s during the fall season.

Thanks Darla!
I remember your posts last year and your cabin fever! 🙂
We have snow on the ground from a small storm that went to the south of us. It will be in the 50’s to 60’s this week. I am ready for a good dumping!

It was a pretty wild scene on the slopes this weekend since there were only two runs open! It will get less dangerous as the mountain opens up! My biggest fear is being slammed into by a novice skier!
Thanks Scott!
