Telluride, CO - 2/02/08 (Season Progress)

[ChrisC]

This has been a phenomenal year for SW Colorado.


Yes Telluride:
In the past two months, Telluride’s seen 229 inches of snowfall, according to Telluride Ski and Golf Co. Of that, 105 inches came in January, up from the 95-inch December.
The 105-inch January is the second-snowiest month in resort history, according to Telski, next to March in 1990, when 121 inches blanketed the area.

The month began with a squall that left 67 inches in its wake followed by periodic snowfalls and capped with the most recent 32-inch storm.

The previous January record snowfall was 85 inches in 1996.

Telluride house is now ski in/ski out due to snow on roads.

Awesom rock covered.

Snow in town. I have spent lots of clearing snow.

The back deck. Snow over the fence. More snow to clean.

Speaking of... does anyone know how long it takes to drive from Monarch to CB?

does anyone know how long it takes to drive from Monarch to CB?

Hour and a half in good weather with dry road conditions.

Or a whole lot longer in a snowstorm. Up (or down) the 1/2 of Monarch pass is the only really significant terrain. Most of the rest is 'relatively' tame drive through valley areas, but frequently wide open spaces that can be tough to see where the road is in a storm...
