Looking forward to no more flat light on Outer Limits. It'll be so nice.

I love this too, but the sucky part is dealing with it being darker in the morning for a while. For me, it's so much more difficult to get up when it's dark outside.

Woa, wait! Where have I been? This coming Sunday? As in 3/8?

yes this is the 2nd year for the early Spring forward..shortest weekend of the year:blink:

I'm happy about the idea of mountain biking much more often during the week.

 

[severine]

I better sleep an extra hour on Sunday to make up for losing that hour.

Fixed it for you GSS! Only reason I know that for sure, is the past 2 years I flew back from Utah after being there the 1st week of March and enjoyed what amounted to only a 1 hour time change on the way home

What sucks is that I have an alarm clock that is supposed to adjust automatically for DST... except it was programmed for this before the change. So i have to over-ride it twice each time the time changes: first to change it, and then again to change it back when the clock decides it's time to change.

Isn't anyone worried about the hour of extra sunlight melting more snow? Obviously designed by politicians and not skiers.

(Ha!)

i'm pretty sure Magic extends its hours when DST hits, anyone else know other mountains that do the same?

 

[Greg]

I thought Hunter did that too, but I could be wrong.

 

[snowmonster]

On the good side: it means more skiing in daylight and warmer temps.
On the bad side: the sure sign that the ski season is starting to wind down.

 

[Johnskiismore]

Didn't Mount Snow used to extend its hours?

Yup, haven't done so in many years though

I think they actually just shift their hours, if I remember correctly. 9-5 instead of 8-4.
