Winter was generally mild in the winter but early spring all the mtns got pounded by deep snow. When I was in Vail at the end of April our bartender said they had the best snow for skiing right after the ski season ended in April.
We were in area 083 which is on the eastern rim about 40 miles east of Alamosa and not too far from LaVeta. Still some snow up on Blanca and we had a storm blow up over the weekend and it dumped a trace of snow up on the mountain above 14000 feet. Luckily we were staying at 9100 feet so all we got was some rain and temps in the 40's. Saw a whole bunch of elk from the Trinchera herd but in a no hunting area and it was all cows and calves and numbered around 150 head.
