Clouds and Sun over Jones Pass


Jones Pass near the Winter Park Ski Resort in Colorado is a large bowl filled with clouds and sun. Backcountry skiers can ride up in a snow cat while dare devils on snowmobiles race dangerously up the side walls. I snowshoed the area last winter and it was delightful.

For other great pictures of the sky, visit Skywatch Friday

  1. Hi Sylvia, I'm just beside you in the Skywatch list! Time for bed for me, but I guess you're still in the middle of your day.

    All that snow! And all that sun! Not a common combination for us. I am still longing to try snowshoeing.

  5. Beautiful. It's been years since I've made it to Winter Park. We've had almost no snow down here on the Front Range, not even on the Palmer Divide.
