Hello From Pagosa Country! …by way of the beautiful hunting and fishing lodge known as the Chama Land & Cattle Company. My son, Patrick, and I are enjoying a tremendous fishing adventure for a couple of days after the 4th of July festivities back in town. Vacationing in the scenic beauty down here has just […]

Summertime and the living is easy – a line from one of my favorite songs, and also what Pagosa is all about this time of year. Last weekend was Memorial Day Weekend, and I missed it. My wife, Laurie, and I were in Europe for two weeks floating down the Danube River. We started in […]

Spring in the Rockies is like a roller coaster ride. Last week temperatures were in the high 60s; this week we had several days of snow and cold. This Friday, which is Cinco de Mayo, we’re expecting a high of 73. The color of the day is dark green. Now for what’s happening around town […]

Spring flowers are popping up everywhere. Spring also brings a mixed bag when it comes to weather. Yesterday morning I woke up to about 10 inches of new snow. Most of it will be gone later today. The snow pack in the mountains is currently at 128% of median. The good news is we should […]

The Weather gods have been more reasonable in February. The sun has come back into play. We have gotten snow on a semi-regular basis, enough to keep all the winter sports enthusiasts happy, but we have seen 50 degree temperatures here and there, and I feel spring is just around the corner. Every day I […]

The big news story so far this year has been all about the weather. For the first 3 weeks of January, we had almost no sun and lots of snow. There were no stars in the sky and no full moon. The good news is we got lots of moisture. We are 170% of normal. […]

As I look out my window, I see a winter wonderland. It’s been snowing for days, which is great news for all the visitors who have been here over the holidays skiing, snowmobiling, and playing in the snow. Town has been very busy, with all the hotels, restaurants, bars, and shops going strong. This is […]

About a week ago, Indian Summer was still in full swing in Pagosa with temperatures in the low 60s. We’ve now returned to more traditional weather with temperatures in the low 30s. The ski area opened on Thanksgiving Day with only marginal snow. Over the past week, they received an additional 28 inches. We still […]

Indian summer is what’s happening. October has been beautiful if you like warm temperatures and no moisture. It works for me, but it’s not what the hunters and skiers are looking for. It’s not uncommon for Wolf Creek Ski Area to be open for Halloween; not this year. We still have two hunting seasons to […]

Autumn is beautiful in Pagosa. Nature’s main artist showed up a couple of weeks ago and His brush has done a splendid job. The colors are spectacular and probably at their peak this week. The Town of Pagosa Springs continues to be busy. The first batch of hunters, those who use black powder or archery, […]
