Real Snow On Christmas Eve 24Dec21

We are up in Summit to have Christmas and catch some runs - the plan sure worked as it's snow continuously since yesterday PM and today we awoke to over a foot of fresh! Good too because there have been precious few storms this season thus far. I hit Keystone and donned the low light Native goggles for a day, finally, in soft, and real, snow. I got some rope drops with deep stuff but the KS early trail system is such that to get them one needed to take the 2nd half via a road. Oh well. Heading home was a nightmare through Dillon as I70E closed and Dillon Ridge shopping center was mobbed with shoppers on the day before Christmas ~ CO 6 down the hill and into Silverthorne was mobbed and slow go. I got gas and probably improved my time being able to go through the shopping center. I got there finally and was thankful that the plow guy we use was just finishing up. Finally some good snow, though heavy and pretty crowded for CO.

It's still snowing pretty hard but before lightfall I cleared 14" off the deck and cleaned off the spa cover. I just bought an all plastic shovel to do the spa in hopes of not damaging the cover. The good news is that this is a solid test of the "snow melting" feature of my spa cover and it works. In a dumper like this it does not melt it all but the surface is warmed enough to clear some and keep the immediate contact layer water-like so clearing the rest doesn't require working ice. I'm pleased; it's recommended
