Flakes falling, but long way to go before old roads on Bell fade away...

As you can tell by the dark photo, it was mostly gray on Monday afternoon on Bell Mountain. That's good, at least in terms of weather, if not for phone-photography. Some misty clouds were out on the surrounding peaks. Forecast still calling for one-to-two inches of snow tonight for Aspen. Lots of rain in California, though, which can lead to snow here. Just skied Copper and Spar and was pleasantly surprised. Yes, it's quite firm, but still a relatively enjoyable experience, with rock-free runs possible, even probable.
