2023新年伊始滑雪

落基山的滑雪季已经开始有一段时间了，每年的降雪量都会有不同，天气也是很难预测。 

 

难以预料的何止是天气，据说这个才刚刚过去的周末，有90%的西南航空公司的航班被取消，其它航空公司也都有不同程度的影响。这种混乱的事情打乱了许多人节日的生活。遇到这样的事情，只能随遇而安顺其自然了。

 

今天是12月28号星期三，铜山的滑雪场在早上10点半左右的时候，它的两个大型的停车场就满员了。天气预报下午会有小雪，如果仅仅是小雪，气温不是很低，没有太大的风，还是可以滑的。

 

今天来滑雪的人很多，但去后山的路被封了，所有的人都集中在了前山，滑起来感觉有点人太多了。 雪道上常常会看到蓝色透明的标志，是非常危险的坚硬冰块区，需要绕过它们。下午在风雪中，没有来得及避开，曾经重重的摔过一次。 滑雪戴头盔则是非常重要的保护。

 

早上无雪无风的时候，滑起来感觉非常不错，只是今天的雪道没有太多的选择，有点遗憾。后山一定是积雪不足，也许要等到二月，或者一月中旬了。

 

下午3点左右，雪越来越大，能见度越来越差，只好早早就收拾返回小镇上。

 

离开雪场的路上，雪花越来越密集，路面上是融化的积水，在夜晚的时候，将会是危险的冰面。车与车之间都保持了相当的距离。

 

 

雪夜里的Frisco小镇，圣诞节的灯火阑珊依旧。 这里的冬天，是它一年中最忙碌的。

 

[22-23 ski season] The ski season in the Rocky Mountains has started for a while, the amount of snowfall will vary every year, and the weather is also difficult to predict.

 

Unpredictability is not only limited to the weather. It is said that this past weekend, 90% of Southwest Airlines flights were cancelled, and other airlines were also affected to varying degrees. This chaotic affair disrupted the life of many people during the festival. When encountering such a thing, we can only go with the situation and let nature take its course.

 

Today is Wednesday, December 28, and Copper Mountain's two large parking lots are full at around 10:30 in the morning. The weather forecast is that there will be light snow in the afternoon. If it is only light snow, the temperature is not very low, and there is not too much wind, it is still possible to ski.

 

There are many people who come to ski today, but the road to the back mountain is blocked, and all the people are skiing in the front mountain. It feels a bit too crowded. Blue transparent signs are often seen on the snow trails, which are very dangerous hard ice areas and need to be bypassed. In the snowy  afternoon, I didn't have time to avoid it, and I fell heavily once. Wearing a helmet for skiing is very important protection.

 

When there is no snow and no wind in the morning, it feels very good to ski, but it is a pity that there are not many choices for today's ski trails. There must be insufficient snow in the back mountain, maybe it will have to wait until February or mid-January.

 

At around 3 pm, the snow was getting heavier and the visibility was getting worse, so we had to pack up and return to the town early.

 

On the way out of the snow field, the snowflakes are getting denser and thicker, and the road surface is covered with melted water. At night, it will be a dangerous ice surface. There is a considerable distance between the cars.

 

In the small town of Frisco on a snowy night, the Christmas lights are still dim. Winter here is the busiest of the year.
