    cory , I like the new website, hope you had a great summer . Hopefully we can set up another get together like last season at the highlands, we all thought it was great and would like it to continue if it works for you. We’ll be in touch and thanks for the excellent forecast.

    After living in the Roaring Fork Valley for 33 years, I have found that Cory can predict the weather better than anyone and it’s an honor to work with him.

    Cory,

    I am really enjoying the new site. I think it is a wonderful addtion to the weather products that are available to us here in the Roaring Fork Valley! I’m curious though, as to why you don’t include some wind information in your discussions? Also, I and others I’m sure, would love to see some discussion of snowfall expectations in the mid and lower valley areas in addtion to the upper valley/slopes discusssions.

    Thanks!

      Very good point Bruce. I will add some relevant wind info for everybody soon. Initially Ryan and I just wanted to start out in Aspen/Snowmass and the resorts. Based on comments and positive feedback I think DV is coming real soon my friend!!

      Thanks for checking in with us

    CORY! So great to see your site! I have been visiting with Bill (former night manager with you at V!) at the Ritz early in the morning when I provide transportation for their guests! He turned me on to your site and I check it every day as you have NEVER dissapointed! I tell people about it and let them know you have succeeded in making me alot of money with your forecasts! Being in the limousine business, I rely on your site to tell me which direction I should take my clients when flights are cancelled in Aspen!!! You have always been 100% correct! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge!!! It REALLY makes a different in my business!!! You ROCK! Charm…Charm Chauffeurs..970 945-5110

    Cory, I’m a ‘weather junkie’ going to many websites per day, trying to predict the weather as an amateur. I was sort of forced into this in the 90′s when I was climbing all the 54 14ers in Colorado and I had to make a lot of judgment calls as to whether to climb or not. I only got ‘shut out’ on one 14er due to weather and that is when I went with a group who had to go that day, weather or not. IF only I had had your excellent website back then! You are the best thing that has happened to weather prediction in this area….KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

      Thank you Katey
