The sun is shining and with the Bronco’s headed to the Superbowl, life sure is good in Colorado and indeed at Vail Resort.
Although there is plenty of snow on the ground, unfortunately the groomers are getting a little slick later in the day (especially on the front side) and it is getting tough to even find an edge in places.
The back bowls are in good shape and if you time your runs with the position of the sun, you can still find some very fun turns.
Nothing to look forward to in the forecast at this stage, though we are hopeful of a pattern shift next week which should return us to the bumper season we currently have on pause due to sunshine.
