Mother Nature came
through in fine form this weekend with a healthy serving
of high country snow to welcome in the 40th annual Hesperus
Ski Patrol Ski Swap. The La Plata County Fairgrounds
were abuzz with winter excitement as the doors opened
at 8 a.m. Gear hounds gained access to the roomful of
equipment and bargains with a modest entry fee of 50
cents. Snow riders could also partake in a variety of
bargains from regional ski areas including Silverton
Mountain, Telluride and Durango Mountain Resort.
