Worst powder day ever!

So the other day, in response to the weatherman’s (pathetic) attempt at snowfall prediction, Mike, another friend, and I headed up to Rocky Mountain National Park to do a bit of backcountry skiing.

The park had easily gotten two feet of fresh snow. Perfect skiing conditions!

Unfortunately, none of the roads had been plowed for us to get to any skiing.

After skinning along a road for three hours for a measly 50 feet of vertical drop, Mike officially declared the ski adventure the worst powder day ever!

Boulder’s projected snowfall

Mike was ticked at  NPR the other morning because of the lack of information they offered regarding our projected snowfall.

We  heard the announcer say, “A wide variety of snowfall totals possible today along the Front Range.”

“Come on!” Mike said. “Couldn’t they give us some more details? How about, ‘We’re expecting a mean of six inches.’ Or ‘We’re looking at a standard deviation of 10 inches.’ That would be a lot more helpful!”

Yep he’s pretty smart. Nerdy of course, but very smart.
