Colorado Resorts offering super bowls of snow
Monday, February 04, 2008
Thanks to a steady pulse of storms streaming across the state this month, Colorado ski resorts are seeing record amounts of snowfall, abundant powder days and robust mid-season conditions. All 26 resorts have received fresh snow in the last 24 hours and season-to-date snowfall totals have surpassed 28 feet in some areas.
Combined, Colorado’s 26 member resorts have received 4,750 inches of snow this season, equaling roughly 395 feet. Since December 1, 2007, it snowed at Colorado resorts 59 out of 62 days, resulting in 51 official powder days (calculated as at least one resort receiving 5 or more inches of new snow).
January snowfall records were broken at both Crested Butte and Snowmass. Crested Butte broke their record after they received 41 inches of new snow this past week and Snowmass broke their record after receiving 38 inches of new snow.
This week in Southwest Colorado, Wolf Creek received 60 inches of fresh snow, Silverton 47 inches of snow, Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort 42 inches, and Telluride 32 inches of snow.
The Central Rockies have also been getting fresh snow with 26 inches at Monarch Mountain this week. On the Western slope, 31 inches of new snow fell on Powderhorn Resort and nearly two feet has fallen on Sunlight Mountain. Aspen Highlands received 32 inches of new snow, Aspen Mountain 30 inches and Buttermilk 24. Click here for full article
Colorado aircraft builder hits rough air
PUEBLO (AP) — The city of Pueblo is seeking to reclaim more than $2 million in incentives given to Adam Aircraft, which fell short of promises to provide 448 local jobs for seven years.
City Manager David Galli says Adam Aircraft could get credit for employing between 80 and 90 people, though. Layoffs wiped out most of the company's local work force. The privately owned aircraft developer said last month that it laid off 80 workers in Pueblo.
Galli says that of the $3 million made available to the company to come to town, about $2.4 million was spent on a building and equipment. He says the city owns the building and has placed liens on the equipment. Full article here.
