RATS!
Snow Summit is closing this Sunday. The official end of the season. It
ended on a really good note for me a few weeks ago -- cold, GOOD grooming, and not as crowded as it could have been. The weather since then has been warm enough to slush up the slopes so it's not worth the overhead for maybe one hour of halfway-decent skiing, if that. I do have to complain about their dropping of the senior rate for next year, though. Granted, the cost of the gas to get there swamps the cost of the pass, but still... When I hit 80 I can ski free, though. Our 91-YO friend is still safe. Last year their grooming sucked badly -- holes, lumps, things that We The Clumsy have to avoid if we want to stay ptex-side down. A lot of people besides me must have complained because this year it was almost as good as Brian Head's. Top speed this year: 49.7. Down from 53.x several years ago, but I can't complain... much... -- Cheers, Bev There is a fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness.' |

Still lots of snow at our local hill with 1.50 metres depth at the bottom which should hang around for a while even eith rising temps. So we'll have to see if we can squeeze one last day in without letting our 6yo gd know - she's now hooked |

Maybe this will work: https://media-mammothresorts-com.s3-...e_1280x720.jpg The good news: I cleaned and waxed my skis and put away everything nicely, all ready for next year. -- Cheers, Bev What if there were no hypothetical questions? |
