When its all over its going to be very interesting to reflect back on this past season. I believe the weather was as poor as I have ever seen it and yet it looks like we just might make it to Easter. I guess anythings possible but I have a hard time believing we will have another season as rough as this one was next year or anytime soon. Its really remarkable to think how much skiing has been available despite the weather.

Blue Hills was kind of a crap show all season according to people who ski there regularly. Too bad, the same management team had really improved things the last couple of years.
Look at it a different way- closings in the south could mean those skiers/riders migrate to the northern areas.

The new group made a great effort this year. But, the weather in that local was beyond difficult this year. Warmest year in recorded weather history.
Added to their problem, is that as much as they tried, they were cut off from a water supply prior to Feb School Vacation. Heard from staff that the Town cut them off at $420,000. of water. They paid for it, just wouldn't let them have anymore.
Next couple of days will further damage today's light season, but I made reservations yesterday for 3/20-23. Some skiing is better than none !!!

Or not and just hike.When the slopes close here..you can always head.....................................................................west
Skied my first earned turns on Memorial Day Weekend last year, Mt Washington. Snowfields via the Auto Road, OK the first run wasn't earned, but all subsequent ones were, and Tuckerman's, hiked from Pinkham Notch. Haven't been that exhausted in a long time. I doubt I'll be skiing this Memorial Day Weekend, unless it's behind a boat.Or not and just hike.
You guys are fast, the past few days of warm weather melted a lot more snoww then we have predicted. It would have been nice to get one more weekend, but it just isn't in the cards. Here's to a few more weeks of spring skiing further north.
Thunder Ridge in Patterson, NY just pulled the plug............closed for the season!
