Rough Winter, Hope for Spring


For the past month I have been on the road in search of the slight possibility of some remaining soft snow. With some previous obligations preventing me from traveling farther then Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado it has been a challenge given the average temp has been well in the 60’s. Spring has sprung as they say, and the snow has been melting at a considerably noticeable rate. As bare spots started to show up on resorts and south facing slopes started to unmask their hidden land mines I stared to see more and more shorts, t-shirts, and bikes. However, tales of the past and from my memory of Colorado winters, March has always yielded the greatest amount of moisture throughout the winter months. While the past three weeks would prove differently, there is still hope. None-the-less March snow is usually wet and only sticks around for a few days before the longer days of sun cook it into the rivers, but the snow in march is what sets us up for an epic spring in the backcountry, or early trips to Moab or Fruita to get in shape for the summer.

Lets hope what’s materializing on the radar right now is option A.
