(Blurbs) Brrr ... Don't Forget to Bundle Up

It must finally be winter when 20 degrees is the high temperature. It seems only a few days that it was 60 around here. Oh wait ... that was a few days ago.

A favorite saying in Colorado (and in a lot of other places): If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes.

Naturally, when it's single-digits and you're bombing down a mountain on skis or a board (under control, of course ... since there's not a lot of terrain open and IT IS a busy holiday weekend), that chilly air can be downright hostile.

A neck gator or face mask will come in very handy for these frosty days, also warm gloves and thick socks. Wear a thick jacket, an underlayer on top and bottom and a warm fleece. Also, just because it's freezing doesn't mean you won't get sunburned.

That sun is intense. Wear ample sunscreen.

Have fun and be safe!
