Colorado ski areas got another glimpse of winter yesterday as more snow fell in the mountains.
Webcam images and pictures shared by ski areas cranked the stoke level up a notch as powder-starved skiers and riders realized winter is just around the corner.
It looks like more than just a dusting at some locations too. Silverton Mountain got enough to ski on.
