Miscellaneous
High up in the Cascades, the Sierras, and the Rocky Mountains – the life blood for the winter season is the snow. Nothing makes skiers, snowboarders, and snowmobilers happier than a foot of fresh powder. For ski resorts, all that white, turns to green. And when there’s not enough of it – they’re in the red. But, the real impact of a light snow pack is really felt months later in the summer. Dry conditions can leave the earth ready to burn come summer. Homes and lives are sometimes quickly lost – as fires rage out of control. Join us on a snow survey into the highest regions of the Rocky Mountains and listen to a frank discussion about the importance of a strong winter snow pack with KDVR-TV anchor Kirk Yuhnke and KWGN-TV meteorologist (and outdoor enthusiast) Chris Tomer.
