| The Colorado Department of Transportation has exhausted a fund set up to cover overruns in its budget for snow removal this season. It expects costs to reach a record $71 million by the time the season ends. CDOT originally budgeted $43 million for snow and ice control this winter, but it had already spent $53 million through mid-March. Still getting snow in "foot" (not inches) amounts up in the high country. Looks like Arapahoe Basin ski park will be open into June, easily. |

| #1 I might just have to make the trip to A-basin sometime in May. It's been 9 long years since I've been to "the base" but with the year they are having out West, I imagine the spring skiing conditions will be phenomenal. Happy turns! |
