DENVER — The first two weeks of January delivered up to 9 feet of snow to mountain towns across Colorado.
Residents found themselves shoveling virtually nonstop. The shoveling resulted in narrow pathways and piles of snow enveloping homes.
Crested Butte received 108 inches of snow from Jan. 1-14. Schools closed in the area for the first time in 30 years.
Houses were buried under thick, heavy layers of snow. Residents started shoveling roofs to avoid collapse.
Crested Butte residents Xavier Fane, Kevin Krill and Kay Peterson shared photos of all the snow in the area.
