Runoff

I'm sure many of you are crazy excited to get on the rivers this summer. Colorado snowpack overall is said to be at 127% of normal! We're obviously above normal here at Powderhorn.

Those of you that check the webcam have probably noticed the giant mountains of snow that our cat drivers made this week. They pushed the snow in those areas to help with the runoff. We have drainage ditches around the base area and by pushing the snow like that, it will help the water follow those routes...instead of washing the lodge into Plateau Creek.
