How About A

COLD & Snowy  Winter

 

What is Known

As of March 8, 2010

Pretty much sping and normal high temps. Below normal lows. NAO and AO are moving positive. Snowfall total at this point for the season is 85+ inches. 200% of total.

 

Want to extend play in MARCH 2010.

 

To keep it extended, resort wise. If your already paid up. Go a lot in march and go often. When people stop going they shut down. I do not anticipate a lack of snow cover or % open.  Spring conditions so have the right wax Zardoz Notwax.
