Question
Hello Mr. Collins,  I am planning a trip somewhere where there will snow fall on Christmas Day.  I know nothing is guaranteed, but what is the probability of Snow falling on that day in the areas of Aspen and the other ski resort areas? I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.

Answer
I can just about guarantee you that there will be snow on the ground on Christmas Day at any of the ski resort towns out here, but there is no way to guarantee that snow will actually FALL on Christmas Day.  We usually do get a pretty good snowfall sometime during the Christmas holidays, but not always on that specific day.

Sorry, but my crystal ball is just not that good......

Expertise

I am very familiar with the resort areas of the Central Mountains of Colorado. I have worked in the resort industry here since 1988, and have first-hand knowledge (as a resident or former resident) of Aspen, Snowmass, Summit County (Breckenridge/Keystone/Copper Mountain), and now South Park, Colorado (yes....it does exist).

Experience

I have worked in the resort industry in Central Colorado since 1988, including local coordination work for inbound tour operators. I have extensive knowledge of the Aspen/Snowmass and Summit County resort areas as well as South Park, but I have also worked with groups in Winter Park, Crested Butte, and Steamboat as well.

Education/Credentials
Unfortunately I found the travel industry after college, so my education does not necessarily match up with this field. I have a bachelors degree in Industrial Engineering from Stanford University.
