First Snow in the Rockies and you'll never guess which resort in North America opened first!
On October 6th the first significant snowfall came into the Rockies. In the valleys we saw around 6 inches of accumulation and more on the mountain tops. Temperatures, however, are expected to rise over the coming week and we will likely see snow in the valleys melt away. Hopefully the snow on the mountain tops will stay as snowmaking operations in Winter Park are expected to begin in mid-October.
Julie and I went for a walk around Winter Park as we were very excited for the first snow. We should have brought cross country skis! I was very surprised with the amount of accumulation.

The big news for this weekend though was that the North America Winter Ski Season has begun. On October 8th at least two ski areas opened for the winter. Wolf Creek in Colorado started their season with full resort services, 3 lifts and 3 feet of powder!
The big news is that the first ski area in the US to open was in the least expected place. Ski and Snowboard Resort Las Vegas Nevada beat Wolf Creek by an hour to win the title. They opened with a 12 inch base and very limited services. It is unknown if these resorts will open next weekends but we can hope. Last year the title went to Loveland Ski Area, Colorado who opened on October 24th.
Congratulations if you guessed right, and keep hoping for snow!

My Review of Smith Vantage Snow Helmet - Men's
The Smith Vantage snow helmet with Boa® fit system uses top-of-the-line technology to maximize protection for aggressive, big-mountain descents.
Wear it whenever I am on the mountain
By ski pro wp from Winter Park, CO on 10/8/2011
Sizing: Feels half size too small
Pros: Protective, Well Ventilated, Headphone Compatible, Lightweight, Comfortable, Easily Adjustable
Cons: Expensive, Breezy
Best Uses: Downhill, Snowboarding, Skiing
Describe Yourself: Professional
Was this a gift?: No
I use the product every day in the winter. It has been through temperatures ranging from -40 to 50 and it's multiple, adjustable ventilation has always kept me comfortable. It is light weight an comfortable.
I do not like the fact that it has one ventilation system that you cannot shut down. When it is windy it blows cold air around your head even with all of the vents closed.
The helmet is also quite expensive.
