Day after day of steady snow fall is a welcome sign of resiliency for our community. Not only does it guaranty large amounts of tourist dollars for our local economy, it is the watery savings account we will draw on year round.
The snow tourists ski on today will be a time release water source. Swelling streams for rafting in Spring and prolonging acequia waters for longer summer irrigation. A healthy water table level here depends on abundant winter snow.
