What February feels like
The cold here is dry rather than damp, so you won't sweat through a coat, but you will crack a lip and burn a nose on a chairlift by noon. Sunday afternoons the whole Front Range drives home from the resorts on I-70 at once — leave the mountains before two or eat dinner in Idaho Springs and wait it out.
Winter is doing its thing: 7.6 in of snow in a typical February, with fresh snow on about 5 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
