Buena Vista woke up to find the first snow of the year blanketing the ground! It was a very beautiful and welcome sight for most of the valley residents.
With about 1-2 inches of dry snow, it did make for slick road conditions which resulted in one minor auto accident in the early morning hours. Please remember that even though you may not see any ice on the road, doesn't mean it's not there. And if you have 4 wheel drive, you aren't able to drive on the slick roads at faster or even, sometimes, normal speeds. Please be courteous and safe, slow down & drive cautiously.
Even with the ground conditions in desperate need of the moister, there are mixed emotions from the community. Skiers are excited to see the snow fall & anticipating the opening of Monarch and Ski Cooper, while some contractors wish it could stay away a bit longer to finish current projects before the big storms come.
Go take time to go have fun this year!
