It's over. :-(

Colorado ski season has closed.

[from Pali's Pitch e-mail notice this afternoon]
Closing day, Wednesday, july 2

The 2002-2003 ski season has come to an end. Mother Nature has made the
decision to end the 02-03 Colorado ski season today, July 2. We were
totally optimistic about making it until the 4th but the last few day of
hot temperatures made it unrealistic. We figured it wasn't something to
promote when our loyal riders and skiers had to hike to the base of the
lift every run. As luck would have it Arapahoe Sports has just received
a shipment of commemorative 2002-2003 season tee-shirts. If you feel
(like we do) that the Basin has had an epic 2002-2003 season, head to
our web site a little bit later this summer and you can purchase one.

Damn, sad news indeed.
Not much of a suprise. I have been monitoring the Loveland cam,
and the white part would get a little smaller each update.
Now what the hell am I going to do this weekend?
Hey, Mike, thanks for the update.

16 weeks of waiting for Loveland to open. I think I can make it.

Errr, okay, but, you guys ever heard of waterskiing?

Prolly not, stuck in the high hinter void of winding river
land that kills your summer spirit, and leaves you with
little hope for smooth carves on pristine stretches of
water..

Hope ya all have fun traveling hundreds of miles to ski a
few hundred yards of snow!

I'll be eating up the glass water, and jumping in front of
cheering crowds on the fruitopia euphoria river that is less
than 2 miles from my house.

As always the light is on for RSA'rs in need of an Iowa ski
fix. I feel for you.

Not that Sundance. Sundance Mountain, Rocky Mountain National Park,
Colorado.

This is what Bruno and I did yesterday (5 July) while you all were enjoying
the heat:
