Powder Smiles from Skiers and Riders All Over the Mountain
TELLURIDE,
Colorado (January 22, 2012) – Mother Nature smiled on Telluride last
night with 20 inches of new snow, and the mountain was
buzzing with powder smiles this morning. Already boasting some of the
best conditions in the country this season, skiers and riders raced to
old
secret stashes and new glades. Revelation Bowl was so deep that it will
take Patrol until tomorrow to control and open it, setting up for
another
powder day. |

It’s that time of the year again— time to travel (hopefully without too many crazy traffic/flight delays), watch the Macy’s Parade with the fam, cook, eat (& later pass out in a food coma while watching football, of course), &/or wake up ridiculously early to wait in line for Black Friday deals. But most importantly, it’s time to give thanks for the many blessings bestowed on us throughout the year. If you’re not traveling far & want to go out on Thanksgiving Eve, or not traveling at all this year, we have plenty of ideas to keep you busy and to make you feel at home in ATL! |
