Windy. Heavy snow during the morning will give way to snow showers during

Winds S at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of snow 80%. Snow accumulating 6 to 10

inches.

When I see a weather report like the one above, I stay home and wait for
the
next opportunity. It's the wind prediction that makes me think skiing
would
be drudgery instead of a day of good fun.

I don't have enough experience to know what I'm missing. It's a 3.5 hour
drive each way for me, without stopping and slowing for chain
requirements,
so I tend to wuss out when I see heavy winds predicted. Am I missing
good
skiing days by staying home because of worries over blizzard skiing?


I can't begin to count the amount of skiers I have listened to (on working
days)in amazement as they complain about the weather when it is dumping...
"(whine) I can't ski in all this snow". Perhaps you are one of these
people? If so, thank you for keeping the lines short on the best of days.

In all fairness, nasty winter weather is a fetish of mine and is not for
everyone and mostly likely not for many except a relative few twisted
individuals, some of who post at rsa.

Yeah, it sucks up here unless it's bluebird sunny without a breath of wind.
You'd best stay home and avoid the dangerous roads and inclement weather.
