Well, not really. I was up at 5:45 so I could go ski powder at Winter Park. The roads were supposed to be a nightmare, in actuality they were not that bad. Turns out that everyone in the Denver metro area was so freaked out by the storm that they didn’t head up to the high country. SCORE! I had Winter Park all to myself with over a foot of new snow.
