If you were looking for the Question of the Day today, I apologize.  I haven’t had internet access for the past 24 hours.  We flew into Vail yesterday afternoon and had our first day on the slopes today.  I must say that with all the hype of “Colorado powder”, I was sorely disappointed.  There were some nice spots but overall the base was not great.  However, we still had a good time.  The runs are super long and the mountain is gigantic.  The temps were very managable and we even got about two seconds of flurries in the afternoon.
