February 9th 2018 at Arapahoe Basin, Colorado: We Need Snow!

in #photography7 years ago

This was my second time skiing at Arapahoe Basin this season, and the conditions were less than desirable.


Snow accumulations have been minimal thus far this season. In fact, Colorado has had one of it's worst ski seasons on record, as snowfall has been sparse, to say the least.

This is troubling on many fronts, as Colorado's main water supply comes from snow. If the season doesn't turn around soon, we could be in for serious droughts and wildfires in the near future.


But in the present, the lack of snow is apparent everywhere you look in the mountains. Today, this fact was starkly visible while skiing the terrain at Arapahoe Basin.

We still enjoyed ourselves, and the view from the backside is worth the trip alone.

Here's hoping to a late flurry of flurries hitting the rockies this season, as we definitely need it!

Indeed, it's an incredible place to ski at, if only for the scenery!
