Winter Returns…

As predicted, winter is making its return after a late February meltdown. It seems to go like this every year now: just as we get a good base of snow built up and groomed out the way we want, everything warms up and we go through a prolonged dry spell that breaks the conditions down to either nothing, or to a point that’s hard to put back together. Thankfully, we didn’t quite get there this year, but things weren’t looking so good earlier in the week.

Actually, things skied pretty nicely after being regroomed Tuesday evening, but it wasn’t gonna last long if we didn’t get new snow. With today’s storm, looks like we’re back in business!

I’m not sure if we’ll get any packing/rolling done tonight, or grooming done in the morning, but certainly, we’ll get out by tomorrow evening to groom. Looks like another, even bigger storm is forecast for later this next week. We’ll keep it going until it really starts to break down. It should be pretty good for at least another couple of weeks with this weather pattern change. Whew!
