A springtime Winter❄️Weather Advisory is now in effect here in the mountains. This pic was taken on the same May date several years ago.

Whatever snow arrives tonight is unlikely 2 create a result this dramatic.

#CopperMountain closed last weekend, so our⚡🐯 🏂 season has concluded anyway😊 #Colorado
A snow-covered black SUV is parked in a driveway facing the camera, with pine trees weighted down by snow to the left and in the background. Aspen trees with thin, bare limbs are visible on the right. The sky is solid white from an ongoing snowstorm. The focal point and most surprising element of the image is the depth of the snow covering the vehicle. The left half of the hood and windshield have been cleared of snow, revealing an accumulated snow depth of over 12 inches on the roof of the SUV and more than 18 inches on the hood. Japanese vocabulary is overlaid at the top of the image. Takusan たくさん (A lot)

Big floppy snowflakes pelted 100 parked boats at #LakeDillonMarina this week. In 3 weeks, the vessels will be returned to the water.

3" of heavy, wet ❄️ on spring crust wasn't enough to get Stormy🐯 & me back to 🏂, so...

#MountainBiking & #Kayaking season continues! 🥶

Heavy snow with giant snowflakes falls on a sailboat resting on a trailer in a parking lot at night. Street lights illuminate the boat and the snow. The colorless image was desaturated to better contrast the dark sky and unusually large snowflakes. A Japanese vocabulary word is overlaid at the bottom of the image. Fune 船 (Boat)

Even locals might be misled by this #Colorado #MountainBiking #NightView from last night.

With the iconic Buffalo Mountain/Red Peak vista & w/Wildernest lit below, many might presume that the icy Lake Dillon Reservoir is the foreground.

That is NOT Lake Dillon 😵‍💫
Does anyone know what the water is?
An early night view after sunset reveals dense clouds in a darkening sky holding the last remnants of light with an array of blue and gray tones. Two large, rounded, snow-capped mountains are seen in the background, and the lights of a small mountain neighborhood dot the blackness of the descending ground beneath the mountain peaks. In the foreground, almost seeming to extend to the mountain range, an expanse of water fills the lower portion of this horizontal landscape view. Ice can be seen on up to half of the water's surface.

View from the summit of my favorite 1-hour neighborhood loop last night. Only a few snow patches to cross + 1 section on the downhill became a tiny creek. Mountain Biking season is officially underway, though more ❄️ is still possible. #NightSky #MountainBiking #LakeDillon #Colorado #RockyMountains
A black mountain bike leans against a trail signpost on a ridgeline at the top of a small mountain. A lake and a large snow-covered mountain are seen in the distance. The sun has set, and a bright light mounted on the bicycle's handlebars is turned on. The sky is overcast with blue and gray hues. Japanese vocabulary is overlaid at the bottom of the image.

Found a tree with several tufts of Usnea Lichen while snowboarding 🏂 in a forest at #CopperMountain last weekend. A much-appreciated, late-season snowstorm drew me and Stormy🐯 out for what might have been our final snow riding day this season. A lower elevation mtn bike ride is planned for tonight.
A small tuft of Usnea Lichen can be seen on the branch of a tree in a forest with fresh powder snow. Looking uphill in the forest, a snowboarder's track, created before the rider stopped to turn back and photograph the lichen, is visible.

Inside labyrinth of 1 of my favorite tree runs @Copper Mountain last mo on a velvety powder ❄️ day. This season had ample mini-storms 2 keep local resorts covered for tourists, but not enough massive snow events to draw me & Stormy out as much as I would've liked. Chance 4 snow this wk🤞 #Snowboarding
After a heavy snowfall, soft and fresh powder snow covers the forest floor and the limbs of tightly clustered pine trees in mountainous terrain.
