There was definitely a season 3 or so years ago where Beech and Sugar didn't fully open.

Yeah one or 2 days of it maybe but not over 2 weeks,besides next week is warm and rainy,no bueno!

It was nice working and every day life weather today in Raleigh, but I couldn't stop thinking how this has to be killing the skiing areas. I used to definitely be one of those "coooing and ahhhing" over weather like this mid winter, but now I have my fingers crossed for a deep freeze. Maybe we'll luck out in February and March.

Yeah,since January only had 3 days of Winter,I hope the end of January til April is a big slap in the face to the coooooing and ahhhing jerks!
