Temps?

Around 65-70 degrees and sunny at Hunter Mountain NY one beautiful day in March many years ago. I think my 8 year old (at that time) son liked it the most. There was a serious "party" happening on the old "deck" (up where all those trails diverge). By two PM, it turned into a "Wet Tee Shirt" contest. When my son wanted to go over to "see" I remarked that he had certainly seen female breasts before. His reply was a gem: "Yeah, but these are different ones." For everything else, there is Master Card.

70s, I would say my last day out...Killington. That day we skied Jiminy, Dave was a hot one too. Remember I needed to strip my liner and get lighter gloves?

75 degrees (twice). Killington mid-March in 1993 and Sugarbush in 1994. That day at Kmart was great, recent dump and full coverage. The only slop was at the base. I remember the lift attendent telling people to ditch their jackets before they got on the gondola. One hot ride up the hill. The day at the 'Bush was mid-April, but the coverage was solid. Sweet corn till noon then mashed potatoes. Aaaaahhhh Spring!

Not really sure. I'm guessing a couple spring days at the Loaf it neared 70 at the base. Sure as hell wasn't 70 at the top of long side though.

50ish at Ski Ward in 1988. Only my second year skiing. It was spring vacation in high school so it was around the second week of April.

70-75 degrees at killington 2 years ago, I wasn't the only one wearing my Isles jersey that day....conditions were crap though as everything was iced over in the morning (like the top of a helmet) but finally got soggy, soft and slow by noon,
