It seems to me that your average "Joe Blow" skier seems to think the Skiing can't be any good past the middle of March. If you tell your co-workers you were skiing in mid or late April, they look at you like you are crazy. The average person has no comprehension as to how great spring skiing can be.
June 1st at K approx 1984.
That evening we went water skiing on Saratoga Lake.

The average "Joe Blow" skier probably can't handle spring conditions. You can't skid your turns. You need considerable leg strength and stamina. You have to posess at least basic mogul skiing skills. The typical out-of-shape intermediate is likely to take a couple of runs and wimper to the deck. They really can only handle midwinter corduroy.
