Silverton, CO Conditions Report | Big, Big Snow on Oct. 11th | Photo Tour

Silverton didn’t provide a single word to accompany these photos.  They didn’t need to.  The pictures say it all.

It was clearly about 2 feet deep in spots.  There was likely avy danger and some weather as they were skiing in the trees.  It was obviously a very good day.

Silverton and Southwestern Colorado in general has gotten quite a bit of snow already this season.  It remains to be seen if that will be a good or a bad thing.  Early Colorado snow can turn into a rotten faceted weak layer that can plague an entire season.

…or it can just keep snowing all season long and simply create a stellar snowpack that produces smiles and good times all season long.  We’ll just have to wait and see.

Regardless, October 11th in Silverton, Colorado was an unreal day.
