I'm already ready for some more snow and chilly temps!Don't get me wrong,I like the occasional mild and sunny day but not prolonged warm spells if it aint the end of the season!

Hopefully just a typical Feb thaw. We still have the rest of Feb and March to go. If this trend continues, I'll take the hardtop off the Jeep and switch to softop. Every time I've done that prior to Apr 1, snow shows up.:)

Ray's said last week that spring was basically here...at least that's the way I understood his statement about it being hard for there to be any sustained cold.

gotta say, its been pretty nice riding at night and not getting blown by guns. beech looks like they have hung up most of the snowmaking gear, so whats out there seems to be what were gonna get.

I'm thinking it is over. The bases will just have to hold up. Luckily they are deep right now. I hope Ober with their 2700 ft base can make it 100% open through the last weekend in Feb.

There are pretty much no snowmaking temps at night forecasted for the next ten days with highs in the 60's. Yikes.
