I live in the coldest county in Colorado - my neighboring town (and town I work in) used to own the title of Icebox of the Nation. But just now got a Weather Service Freeze Warning and it doesn’t include Grand County. It’s 62 degree right now, Summer is Over.
The Weather Service has issued a FREEZE WARNING

I’m on my morning training run, 1 ½ hours according to the plan. During this “run”, I’m walking a lot and feeling frustrated at my lack of mental fortitude. I’m listening to my mp3 player and Kenny Chesney is singing “Sherry’s Living in Paradise”. As he sings the first chorus, “‘Cause Sherry’s living, living in paradise, chasing something or running from something, Had a lot of lovers that were good for nothing, And she’s thought about leaving once or twice, But she’s still in the sun and this laid-back life, Sherry’s living in paradise” I look up and there is a deer and her two babies on the trail in front on me. I stop and wait for them to walk off the trail into the trees as Kenny sings about living in paradise.
I’m here, in paradise; a mountain paradise where there are wild animals and wildflowers and me.
Summer was about 4 weeks this year. Note “was”. The Denver area forecast calls for a foot of snow in the Indian Peaks Wilderness which is about 10 miles from me. My friend Matt posted on his facebook a few days ago that he saw snow. I called him immediately and he saw a dusting of snow near Copper Mountain. Walking the dogs this morning required pants and sweatshirt. It’s only August 14th. It’s going to be a long winter.

He is the coordinator for the Sulphur Ranger District’s “Adopt-A-Trail” program. About three years ago he took on this position after a successful career for many years as the vice president of operations for Winter Park Resort.
A few weeks ago I contacted Gary to see if there were any opportunities to get some of our youth out into the fresh air for some constructive, fun and relaxing activity. I had worked with Gary last year through the Boy Scouts and I was hoping to re-connect.
Interesting Video about Boulder and why it’s a great place to live and train.
I finished around 1:08 - the water was great and I ran the fastest 5K I can remember. Results should be posted in the morning. Greg took some photos and I’ll post once he sends. Great night in Boulder.

What, yes, it’s true and here is the article about Aspen Reopening for a day of skiing.
Had a great run on the trails of SolVista with the dogs this morning. 
A video of us on our hike.
It was a perfect morning for a snowshoe hike with the dog, albeit -2 degrees.
Going Randonee Skiing today up on Berthoud Pass for Grand County Living Magazine. Should be fun; if it warms up.
Skied today with Greg in Winter Park. I estimate about six inches of powder. Here is a great video of Greg skiing in his first-*POWDER Day.
