Skiing- Spring Skiing
posted in Skiing |Rich’s post about spring skiing
reminds me that its soon time. I love spring skiing- its not at all the same thing as good winter skiing
but if you have a good snowpack there is nothing better than swishing down the mushy hill in 60-70 degree
(ok, I’ll take 50s too) weather with a light jacket on and few crowds. I think it was my first winter in
Seattle where Crystal was even open a couple of days in June. A couple of years before that Tahoe got
so much snow that I was up at Kirkwood the last day of the season and it was the last week of June (I think-
I can’t promise that my memory is actually holding up here).
So far this ski year got off to a good start and I’ve already got about 10 days in (probably double what I’ve
done for the past few years). But we didn’t get out at all in February because of some trips we planned and Kat’s
studying for her exam. We ARE planning on hitting the slopes right after her exam (two weeks!) and I’m hoping to
catch some great days in April (at least for the part of April when I’m not in Spain). So while its not one of those
super-epic years, we should be pretty good this spring as long as some of the areas are willing to stay open.
Also- A quick cartoon from the Aero News Network that just possibly
might explain what I experienced at American Airlines. I certainly feel like I experienced “a poop vortex”…
