Weather for Rockies’ Coors Field openers is always a gamble. And this year is no different.

Mark Razum, Coors Field’s resident Boy Scout, is well prepared for Friday’s home opener, come snow, graupel, rain, or freezing temperatures. All four are in the forecast.

“We’re definitely keeping tabs on the weather,” the Rockies’ longtime groundskeeper said Wednesday. “We got our snow removal equipment out Wednesday morning, just to make sure it’s all working. To be on the ready.”

In early April in LoDo, that means being ready for anything.

Just ask the Rockies.
