The buildup and the payoff: Southwest Colorado gets another dose of fresh snow.
We all knew this storm meant business. I knew it, my fellow skiers and snowboarders knew it, and this crazed-looking guy from the weather channel definitely knew it:

Sure, there was a big winter storm headed for Colorado, but where was it going to hit, and when?

But my fears vanished when I saw the next image from our deranged, bald meteorologist.
See that white stuff? That's snow.
You might be saying “OK, great, thanks for the cruddy iPhone photos of the TV screen. Why should I care?” Well, you should care because it means the best ski resorts in southwest Colorado are getting dumped on.I packed up the rig and headed for Durango Mountain Resort.
Excuse me, but you're in my way…

This storm is hitting right now and will continue on through the weekend, which means an all-out free-for-all on the slopes. Mother nature had us nervous for a while, but it’s clear now that we’ll have a white Christmas in Colorado, and at this rate, it’ll be a deep one too.
