EVERGREEN, Colo. -- Snow totals at ski resorts across the state are below average for this time of year. The lack of snow doesn't just affect ski trips; there are long-term issues to be aware of as well.
The foothills and parts of the mountains are filled not with snow or ice but dry shrubs.
“It’s very concerning,” Foothills Fire Protection District Chief Brian Zoril said. “I would say this is the driest conditions we’ve seen since probably 2001-2002.”
“We’re way behind on our water input right now,” Allen Gallamore with the Colorado State Forest Service said.
He said fire is just one issue to worry about when it comes to lack of snow.
