Alpine slides and mountain coasters provide summer fun in the Colorado mountains, in places like Copper, Aspen Snowmass, Glenwood Springs, and elsewhere.
According to Breckenridge Ski Resort patrol director Hunter Mortensen, there’s no such thing as too much snow. When a large snowstorm or blizzard is expected, it’s all hands on deck to keep the mountains at.

According to reports from the Dillon weather station, there was an inch of new snow Tuesday morning. As predicted, Monday brought a rapid drop in temperatures with a recorded high of 50 degrees and an overnight low of 2 degrees. Monday night’s low temperature deviated 18 degrees from normal for this time of year but did not break any records.
