Skiing - Still Going

 Snow still good.  I got up there at 8:30 today knowing it would get warm in the afternoon. This may be the last day for me. No snow in the forecast and other activities happening over the next week.

Devils Kitchen, Echo Canyon

 Colorado National Monument: Devils Kitchen trail and then Echo Canyon. Close by and nice short hikes if you are on the Grand Jct side of things.

Skiing - Grand Mesa

 Good snow today and high of 45 degrees. It is supposed to get very warm soon. We shall see if there are other ski days this year. Did I mention it was sunny? Fortunate to be out there today.

This is the warmest winter on record and also a very poor snow year. In a normal year it would still be winter and there would be double or triple the amount of snow.

Moab - Fisher Towers

 A great hike. Views the whole way. The trail goes into a number of different areas with different large towers. At the end there are green mountains and monument valley type views. And of course an orange spider. 5 miles with maybe 1000 foot of elevation gain.
