Colorado has been great recently, though. Loveland has gotten a ton of snow. They're at over 130 inches for the season, so far. That's over 10 feet of snow and more than double what they had by this time last year. That has made work harder, since I have to clear snow from the lifts all day. On the flip side, though, snowboarding has been great. On Saturday, we had so much snow that I couldn't even feel the bottom most of the time. I work five days a week and go snowboarding on my two days off, so I'm literally at Loveland seven days a week. You can't beat the view from my office, though. I haven't brought a decent camera to work, yet, but here are some pictures taken with my cell phone.
This one is from the middle of lift 4.
This one is from the top of lift 9. At 12,700 ft, it's one of the highest chair lifts in North America.
I went out one night after work with a headlamp and a hand saw and cut down a Christmas tree. I decorated it and put it in front of the picture window so people can see it from the road.
Here it is before I decorated it. Pretty good for finding it at night, in the snow, with a headlamp.
And here it is decorated. I put a white sheet under it for a tree skirt after I took the picture.
I also bought a few strands of small colored lights and put them on the two pine trees in the front yard. They look kind of ghetto, because I didn't have enough lights to get to the top of either tree, so each one only has two strands wrapped around the lower half of the tree. So no pictures of them.
