Hey, there, outdoor folks,

The list of ski areas making snow now includes Arapahoe Basin, Loveland, Keystone, Copper Mountain, Breckenridge, Vail, Beaver Creek, Winter Park, Eldora and Steamboat. Weather forecasts indicate there will be good snowmaking conditions for the next few nights, and weather next week may be conducive for around-the-clock snowmaking. I'm thinking about working in a Summit County hike tomorrow on my way to Glenwood Springs, and I'm wondering if I'll be trekking in fresh snowfall. I'd be fine with that, actually.

Heads up

The metro area will see high temperatures ranging from the low 60s to near 70 this weekend with a slight chance of showers on Friday morning. Highs in Winter Park, Vail and Breckenridge will be in the low 40s on Saturday and the upper 30s on Sunday. Rocky Mountain National Park will see high temperatures in the 40s Friday through Sunday with lows near 30 degrees.

She is expected to compete in World Cup giant slalom and slalom races at Copper Mountain, Nov. 29-30. The FIS World Cup schedule begins this weekend on a glacier near Soelden, Austria, with men's and women's giant slalom. (Marco Trovati/ AP file photo)

"I found Keeley on the coast of Colombia, wrapped in barbed wire and in a gas station dumpster. He had to spend two months at the veterinarian before he was healthy enough to come home. After that, he was the bestest friend ever, " owner T Bonacci writes. "RIP Keeley."
