    Darn Colorado Weather

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Out of all states ive lived in, Colorado has the most unpredictable weather I have seen, yesterday it was bright sunny, 70+ degrees, now its muggy, cloudy, freezing rain, 25- degrees out.... How do yall manage haha, well i guess its better than icy roads/blizzards right now. Good thing i own a Audi now, definitely a must have car out here, (and i guess subaru too, but too many people have those, especially STIs) Ive lived here for several years and still cant figure it out.

    The weather here is the best part of living here. I do hate the weather from time to time, especially this time of the year. But then I just remember that when it's like this outside, that means snowboarding season is definitely here.

    This is the same shit we experienced last year. Didn't start snowing until the first week of December. Farmers Almanac says it should start snowing the 2nd week of December this year.

    be patient, it will come.

    what I find funny is that our "winter" season didn't start until December last year, but I was riding 5ft of fresh pow on the sleds in MAY when only 1 resort was still open lol... damn Forest Service dept needs to get their heads on straight and realize the snow season is going later and later into the spring as each season passes.

    For sure. It kills me when the resorts get dumped on for 2 weeks straight then close with tons of fresh snow.

    It's mostly the Forest Service that dictates when they have to close. They do the same shit in certain snowmobile areas (not all). Other factors are that all the tourists are "over it" and the resorts are not making any money in those late spring months cause the only people riding are people with season passes. I got a ticket for $50 on May 31st this year for snowmobiling after May 15th in the Never Summer Mtns. Forest Service head guy was a cock sucker. There was many feet of snow left to boot.

    Ya I know the NFS dictates that since most resorts fall in national forest land. I'd be cool with resorts changing their lease dates to stay open thru the end of April rather than trying to be the 1st to open in October.

    God i hate the first snow of the season because everyone drives like a moron. Either too conservative and goes 15mph or too aggressive when pulling out in front of people.

    Exactly. Those people who are afraid to drive in the snow should just stay the hell home. I don't need to fly down the highway or anything but people going 20mph in the HOV lanes into downtown piss me off.
