Some snow along the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies (couple of inches two weeks ago) but it melts off the next day or so. Has been in the low to mid-60's. Of course, there has been more up in the high country, above 6,000-9,000 ft MSL. Ski resorts have opened, though in some cases they are making snow. May be another front coming through tomorrow or Tuesday.
At the ski resort on the Grashhook, Galesburg & Western Division of the C.B.&Q., c. 1952, there is always enough for the 1/87th skiers to ski (if they don't mind skiing on plaster). Haven't had to call out the rotary plow yet to clear Gunsight Pass. So far no problem for the two-car ski/tourist train pulled by the Climax to get up there from Grashhook. Just in case, we have acquired a 2-6-6-2 from the Great Northern (Mantua logging articulated), but haven't had time for road trials yet.
