Things change here fast in the flatlands......

Was hoping for the chairs to spin one more time so I could get a couple of hours in on my new ski boots.....first brand new pair in over 10 yrs....


Waited too long.


:(

Time for tennis!

Sorry to hear, no one likes when these postings begin to surface but it is an unfortunate law of nature that warm has to follow cold....maybe we could talk to someone about that LOL

The Gaw is not done (Campgaw). Hidden Valley is done though. Still 2 places in Jersey open, hopefully the Creek makes it one more week.

Sad, they went from good cover to done in a hurry. Walked by Sunday and could see it was going fast.

Thing is there is still a huge amount of snow over there. It is just not worth it to knock the whales down and spread it around. Skiing in the flatlands is dead after February vacation.....the paying customers stop coming and the only peeps on the hill are the JR and SR High School kids on season passes that were paid for in November. It's just the way it is around here and nothing will ever change it. Softball, baseball, golf and tennis practice will be starting soon. It is over.

Here's a link to the mini TR I posted over on epic last month if anyone is interested in some pics of the goo.

Have a nice spring and summer AZ'ers!!
