When the snow finally flies, skiers can enjoy the downhill runs and the vistas at ski resorts. It's a simple plea, echoing through the hearts and souls of many a northwestern skier and snowboarder. The buzz among ski bums is that the winter is going to be a good one. Typically, resorts open around Thanksgiving. But Russ Brown, director of the Olympia Ski School, thinks that the snow will come in early November, boosting interest for the entire season.
Early snow makes for excited people.
It's been more than six months since skiers and snowboarders have been on the slopes. Hence the anticipation, of the speed, exhilaration and what many say is the supreme natural high. Nothing compares to it. Nothing I do gives me that much thrill. It's just exhilarating.
