BTW, it snowed

again last night, and is trying to get started again as I type.

Not much (~ and inch here at dawn) but enough to remind me it ain't even
close to over. Had to take another couple of paraffin blocks to the
locker for the wax bench. Wax up every morning these days...

Jeepers. Maybe Tahoe isn't getting spring at all this year. Lucky buggers. I
think you won this winter, fair and square.

Aye, it's rough on Eastern skiers, nobody to fill the chairs = closed!

So what you're saying is, no spring corn for a while?

Occasionally. But these light snows (3 inch more last night) insulate
the surface, and the overcast skies keep the sun off it, so it never
softens. Keeps it kind of bumpy. Corn will return.

Weather forecast is for warming - should be Spring soon, I imagine
(maybe as early as next month? certainly no later than June!)

Skied a few with a visiting Kiwi this am, mostly high speed groomers,
with occasional flourishs into the chopped up refrozen just to keep the
knees limber. Or sore, depending on how one looks at it. Nothing an
apres ski beer doesn't cure.

Got as foot here at the house yesterday and last night.

Won what? You need to get out of Park City more.
