back from steamboat

I just got back from my week at Steamboat Springs, what a week! I'll have more to say when I'm not so tired, but we had fresh snow monday, wednesday, thursday, and of course the storm of all storms friday. You may have seen on the news about winds clocked at 107 mph on the top of the mountain, well, it's true. An interesting day to ski, or try to. By 1:30 pretty much the whole mountain was shut down. Just as well, I just about got blown off my skis coming down anyway. Wild times!
I did get out of Colorado yesterday, if I'd tried friday apparently I wouldn't have made it, the whole western part of the state was pretty much closed. As it was on saturday, I70 was 10 to 15 mph for 30 or 40 miles over the divide and thru the tunnels ( and that was the only choice, most other passes were closed). What Fun!

P.S. I forgot to mention I got home this evening and found 3 foot snow drifts over my driveway and across my back door. My car is clear down at the bottom of my drive and likely to stay there a while.
