The predominately unsettled, cloudy, and cool weather this last month has nicely preserved the snow up high in the mountains, and north facing slopes have had an exceptionally smooth and consistent surface lately. So despite the record-low snowpack this year, the spring skiing/snowboarding has been pretty darn good!
