Break Out The Beanies (And The Shovels!)

After long, hot summers filled with sweat and sunburns… the mountains are starting to see the first signs of fall and winter. It’s easily one of the most exciting times of the year.

That’s right, many ski areas in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Montana are seeing their first snowfalls of the season and summer hasn’t even officially ended yet.

Wintry forecasts started rolling in within the last few weeks with this week being one of the most active for mountains across the western U.S. Snowy photos and videos are flooding are feed and we are SO HERE FOR IT.

Check out some of the best and most recent snowy scenes from across the country.

Tiny snowmen are popping up at @keystone_resort after getting their first snowfall of the season. We don’t have a dollar for scale, but we imagine he’s adorably pocket sized. 😛 ⛄️ #thesnowreport
