Along with twenty one others I visited Silver Star Resort last week for a week of skiing. The OFOS Division of the Hanover Ski Club played in the snow.
One reason that we do this is because it’s so pretty.
The mountain tops in the distance are lit by the afternoon sun. The fog in the valley adds to the drama.
If you stay inside, you miss the scene.

We are blessed to have Laurentian Ski Hill in the middle of our town. The City Bus will take you there.
And when the Snow Gods are a bit tardy, as they are this year, we are equipped with the ability to fashion a sliding surface from artificial snow.
Opening for Christmas Holidays is very important for the financial health of the hill and it was opened on Dec 23 with good conditions on part of it.
Cold temperatures and some help from Mother Nature will make it possible to get the remainder of the runs open soon.
In the meantime we should all pray for snow!

Last week I was in Colorado skiing with a group of wrinklers.
We had a fine time! A good early season warmup.
This is what it looks like from the top of High Alpine on Snowmass. We had the place to ourselves.

The sun and the warm temperatures have beaten the ski hill to death extremely early this year. No more local skiing this early in March. It is sad to see the season ending so soon.
Perhaps there is something to this “Global Warming” thing!
