Winter Is In The Air In Vail Colorado

The weather is cooling off here in the Colorado Rocky Mountains . Each morning I wake up to the aspen trees turning more and more yellow and red. Just when I think the colors could not be more vibrant, the colors seem to turn even brighter shades the next day.

On October 4th, we decided to turn the heat on finally, as there was a white blanket covering the ground outside, but leaving plenty of room for the aspens colors to “pop” out from under natures garment.

I love it when it begins to cool down and I can see my breath for the first time. You know, it’s not too cold, but the air gives you its first nibble of the season. Winter is on its way.

I love building a fire in the fireplace and the way it makes the house so cozy and warm. The aroma of burning timber fills the room. Even though the heat from the flames provides plenty of warmth, the desire to wrap up in a big soft blanket often gets the best of me. Winter is in the air.

I love Colorado. It gets really cold here but it doesn’t seem so bad with the Vail and Beaver Creek playground that is open all winter. Christmas begins early here, to provide the visitors with a winter wonderland even if they choose to take their Vail retreat before or after the holidays. I think that is part of the magic here. Christmas lasts for four months.

Go ahead and start planning your ski trip. The snow is already providing a solid ground to serve as a nice base for the skiers and snowboarders. Come experience the feeling of winter this year in Vail, Colorado

Have a great evening, and thanks for reading.
