Today, we woke up to some nice fresh powder outside our hotel room window in Denver. We immediately got online to see how much snowfall was reported in Colorado . Vail, Colorado Reported 4 inches! We had the option of going to any of the resorts, but we decided on Vail because it’s the biggest of the places we’ve been to, plus, when we were there last week, the snow was somewhat crunchy, so we thought it would be nice to experience Vail with fresh powder.

Since we slept in this morning and didn’t get out of bed until 8am, we didn’t make it to Vail until 9:30am, but there was still plenty of time to experience and enjoy all the fresh snow, and the snow was still falling! Sweet! We didn’t waste anytime, and hopped on the chairlift to the Back Bowls to enjoy the fresh snow there. We found out that the report of 4″ of snow in Vail wasn’t for all of Vail, only for the main part of the hill, because when we got to the Back Bowls, there was way more than 4 inches!

We floated around playing in the snow and cruised through the powder everywhere we went. We spent the most amount of time in the Blue Sky Basin , winding through the trees and we were the first to make tracks in the snow. There were a few times where we didn’t know where we were, but that didn’t bother us a bit, because the paths were unique, making our snowboarding all that more adventuresome. Eventually, we became hungry and decided to eat dinner at one of the cool hotels . After dinner, we decided, since there was still fresh snow that we missed, and that it was still snowing, to book a room at the hotel, so tomorrow, we’ll get another chance to play in the snow all day long and once again experience the first ones to make tracks in the snow.
