Big stormy powder day with several fresh inches in town.

Three to seven inches in the forecast today and tonight, which means not only will today bring high-quality skiing and riding, so will Friday morning. So nice to see winter return with a purpose. Vail Pass was expected to closed in both directions for avalanche work according to Colo. State Patrol at 10 a.m. for at least an hour. Good sign if you are a skier ... on this side of the pass.
