Winter is coming again and we cannot help but wonder about all our friends we left in Colorado. This time of year can be so beautiful and yet so deadly for traveling in the high country. There are lots of activities and it could snow at any time. We remember all the hunters coming to our hometown and sometimes the weather is warm and they really don’t have a good hunt. Then if it snows, they are always in luck for the wild game to be moving around preparing for winter.
The snow really comes after hunting season and it's early and not time for the skiers yet. That was when we really enjoyed our time as locals and got our last minute site seeing and would occasionally get that great deal at a local resort hotel. Then, the big snow arrives and around or just before Christmas the snowy play season is in full force. All the skiing and snowmobiling is a real recipe for a real traffic mess in the middle of what would seem a never ending winter.
That’s when we pray that the tourist are smart enough to pick themselves up some tire chains so we don’t have to worry about them running into us while we are traveling. I know that everyone thinks that if they have a four wheel driving car or truck, you can get around better. The fact remains that your car or truck doesn’t stop any better. Help get the word out. Everyone please be safe so that we all can have a great holiday and snowy play season this winter.
