“I’m definitely not a scientist. I’m not an expert on climate change. But being a professional snowboarder, I’ve been chasing snow year-round for the last ten years and because of that I’ve been able to see the effects of climate change firsthand,” said Bleiler, who was a guest of the CU Environmental Center.
The biggest storm to hit Colorado in October in twelve years is leaving roads packed with snow and ice and while crews are being credited with doing a pretty good job of keeping roads cleared, the snow is falling faster than crews can clear it.Today: Fantastic snow report this morning, plus some photos - Denver Ski and Snow Report | Examiner.com
Ski area locations from around the state are reporting between two and three feet of snow that’s fallen since this storm began this past weekend. It’s still snowing and is expected to snow throughout the day. Accumulations could range from three to six inches.

She couldn't have told the truth and said that for a year or two, some places had low snowfall, but now there's plenty of snow everywhere. What's wrong with these people?
