Mother Nature forgot her meds the last couple of days. Love the warmer temps, but the liquid snow falling isn't helping. Good thing company year end coming up. I'm not missing anything.

I had a nice powder day on Sunday, well sorta powder day but I'll take the few inches that fell. Even Monday it was packed down a lot more but still not hard pack or ice so my Vantage 90s did just dandy. I'm trying not to be annoyed by how warm it is today because being annoyed isn't going to change anything. Just hoping the temps go back down. I am working/skiing this weekend in western mass and I think it's supposed to rain so hopefully that changes. I'm ok with skiing in rain for 1 day but not the whole weekend. We'll see. I try and be optimistic for the days/weeks to come. I guess it will be just a question is will it get cold again and for how long, will we get a winder storm in late march like last year and just when will my spring skiing sticks come out to play.

Meanwhile we are in the 50s here in Phoenix today. I had to put on pants.
My wife makes me where pants no matter what the temperature
Whitetail announcement on the home page :
They closed 1 main run yesterday, and 2 more of their main runs today (of 10 total). Probably going to move some snow around and patch up what they can, but there's a lot of brown in the webcams. The 3 black diamond runs are all still open though - that side gets a tad less sun I think.

I love spring skiing and I mean love. Give me some soft spring bumps all day long. However. It's still February so I'd like to resume the regularly scheduled program otherwise known as winter for just a little bit longer.
Yep, I like spring skiing too, but it ain't spring yet dammit!!
-25C at the base where I skied today. Good thing they have a gondola with 3900' vertical as the last few days have been similar although not quite as cold.
It was sunny and 64 at the base of Stowe yesterday so it was prime time spring skiing once things softened up. First time I've skied in shorts in February but worth it!!
Today it's 24 at the base and everything is frozen solid...NOT worth it.

Two weeks ago started four days of the best snow of the year, just as I came down with the flu. Now we've had a five days of warm rain, conditions stink, I still feel like crap AND I've got a brand new pair of Renoun Endurances waiting to be tried out. Man, I just can't catch a break this month!
This was yesterday.
Today, 36F and steady rain. Yuk.
Don't feel bad. Tahoe skiers cant catch a break either.
This February Sacramento, for the first time in history, got no rain.

We got enough rain if the want some
Whitetail is looking like it's only got a short time left on the cams... very patchy, with rain and fog and no foreseeable cold temps. The season may be coming to an early close around here. 
In a good year, we'll make it to the third weekend in March. I'd be surprised if it lasts that long this year.
This is one of the open runs :

I really am hating the RAIN!!!

Though the U.P. just got 6" and more coming.
As the Cult says "I love the Rain". However, I say I hate it in February. I love Rain in spring, summer, fall. Anytime but winter.
