Snow Reported Across the Rockies

It seems that the summer always goes too fast. The long sun-drenched days filled with relaxing outdoors and recreation only last for a short while. Most of the human population are sad to see the leaves change as they know a long dark winter is approaching. There is, however a small sect of the population that gets giddy when there is a nip in the air for the first time. When the leaves start to fall, they know the snow will too. The members of the snow country nation rejoice when the first coating of snow covers the mountains. It's never too early for these die-hards.

Recently, snow has been reported over the Rocky Mountains. The nations highest mountain range routinely gets early snow to begin a base for the winter and this year is no exception. Steamboat reported its' first snowfall this week. Known for some of the biggest snowfall numbers, "the Boat" starts early and all but guarantees good conditions in the early season. Known for the most face-shots per run, Steamboat looks to improve upon the epic season they had last season. That must be why they just released a ton of Free Day and Free Night Specials.

Keystone was right behind in their announcement of fresh powder. Summit county received snowfall all the way down to the base areas which officially began their snowfall count for the season. With opening day less than a couple months away, it already looks to be a banner season. Check out this $50 Free Mountain Money Deal they just offered! Obviously they want people to get to Keystone this season.
