Fall is definitely in the air in Colorado’s high country … and winter, too.
The accompanying image reveals spectacular fall colors in the Aspen-Snowmass region, but also a fresh dusting of snow that blanketed the upper slopes early Monday.
Snow and a mixture of snow and rain fell throughout parts of Colorado, and resorts were quick to spread the news.
“If this is a sign of things to come, you better dust off the skis now and wear your boots to watch the Broncos’ game tonight,” Jeff Hanle, spokesman for Aspen-Snowmass, said in a news release.
The Broncos are playing the Falcons on Monday Night Football in Atlanta, but the comment shows the level excitement generated by the first tangible snowfall of the season in Colorado, arriving about two months before most resorts expect to open for skiing and snowboarding.
The Denver Post reported: “Snow acknowledgments were passed along by Colorado Ski Country USA, Loveland Ski Area, Arapahoe Basin, Winter Park Resort and Copper Mountain, among other ski areas and resorts.”
Some of the resorts received as much as an inch of snow, mostly above 11,000 feet, which qualifies as a significant dusting.
