Hot, Hot, Hot!
My forearms are sunburned. That should tell you everything you need to know about hot it was in Heavenly this weekend. Winter, for what it's worth, is essentially over. Snow is melting all over the place. I came down from the hill after a day of skiing to find people picnicking by the lake, strolling around in shorts, walking dogs and doing all manner of things that one does not normally associate with winter. The days of dumping snow are over, perhaps. It could snow more this season, April showers and all, but it's hard to believe when you see people driving down HWY 50 in an open convertible.
Our lease on the house runs through the first week of May. I might have to start bringing my mountain bike up there to get some exercise. There's still a good base of snow, but the coverage is getting weak in places and if this 50+ degree weather keeps up for any length of time, the whole mountain is going slide ride down into the lake.
Days Skied This Season: 15

I'd love to come to Taos. I've wanted to since I was a kid, but now I'm even more interested because they don't allow reptillian snowboarders.
I haven't skied Taos, but it's a lovely place.

'Hot, Hot, Hot!'.
Winter is here. I dunno why it has decided to take its spring break in my state but there it is. It sucks. However, there's prolly some kick-ass skiing if you're interested.
