Tons of Fresh Snow Makes for Great Skiing and Riding!

Storm Drops 3 Feet of Snow on Loveland This Week!
The snow fell hard this week here at Loveland and nearly 3 feet of fresh snow was added to our slopes. With this latest storm our year-to-date snowfall total is now 232 inches! To put that number in perspective, on this day last year we only had 116 inches of natural snowfall.

Just in case you had any doubts about how great the conditions are, check out the pictures on the left taken this week by David Gidley, and this video taken on Tuesday. Since that video was filmed we received yet another foot of snow and the forecast is calling for up to a foot through this weekend! Make your plans to spend the weekend skiing one of Colorado's snowiest ski areas, Loveland!
