The morning's blue sky and those 3 - 4 inches that sat atop the soft corduroy made for heavenly slicing. Thirty five degrees, no wind, and no lift lines. The small weekday crowds gave me two full hours before the main trails were completely shredded. With fast quads and no crowds, it's easy to do 30,000 vertical feet. There is no reason why a muddy parking lot should mean the season should be at end.
Golf can wait.
Actually, the extended daylight that begins this Easter means skiing AND golf can be had in many areas of North America. Every April, snow falls in the Sierras, the Wasatch, and the Rockies. Mike Wiegele, who can ski any time he wishes, contends that April is his favorite month. April requires smart skiing and riding. Picking the time of day to do certain runs becomes more important.
