 Colorado Kicks-Off its Legendary Winter Season with a Late-October Snow Storm

The snow is in Colorado, why aren’t you? A winter snow storm has hit Colorado, dumping several feet of fresh powder on the Rockies, and skiers and boarders couldn’t be more exited. The time has never been better to plan a Colorado winter vacation. Ski areas and resorts across the state are offering great values on airfare, lodging, lift tickets and more (check my other examiner posts for additional deals).   For information, visit www.COLORADO.com.
