Winter this year in the Rocky Mountains started off a with a bang, and still hasn’t quit. Before this most recent storm, Aspen had received over 70 inches of new snow since the lifts closed on April 24th. Everyone put away their ski gear, and readied their thong flip flops for warmer days. Unfortunately, Mother Nature can be a salty old cuss. This photo shows a quick break in the clouds yesterday evening, before snow, rain, and cold temperatures resume for the weekend.
