Spring 2013 has been good to the Ski season this year. Today , April 1st 2013 Noah, Mason, Blake and myself headed to Blue for some "Spring Skiing". Mother Nature was up to some April Fools antics with 40-50K Winds and a Temperature of -5C with a wind chill that had to be in the mid minus teens. I knew it was going to be winter like and told the kids to dress for the coldest day and its a good thing they listened. We parked at the top of Waterfall and were on the hill shortly after 09:00 am. Groomers were hard at work overnight and I suspect when they parked it Mother Nature took over and dumped 5cm of fresh powdery snow over the corduroy trail. All the Runs were open and there were very few folks on the Hill so it was a real treat laying fresh tracks down all morning. So it was a great winter day , lots of snow and good times doing non stop up and down Skiing. Looking forward to some real spring Skiing but the way things are going it could occur in May!

Fall, Winter and now Spring
Skied in my 3rd Season of the 2012-2013 Ski Year...it was Springs first full day today!
Conditions were great , some of the best I have seen all year! It was one of those days where the snow conditions were consistent and you could just more or less point your Skis and go. A real treat was the constant snow throughout the morning yielding fresh tracks almost every run. I was pure joy to be out today . My pain in the butt that has been bothering me for the past few weeks was gone. Going to try to get out again tomorrow but it may not be possible.

Family Day, Feb 18, 2013
Had a fantastic Family Day at Blue. Managed to get Ryan , Robin , Noah and his friend Blake to the Hill.
They opened things up at 07:30 . We tried to be there for the first run but were a bit late arriving at 08:00 am. The conditions were fantastic , clear sky, -13C and the amazingly perfect groomed trails. For the first 2 hours there were almost no lift lines up down and a ton a fun. Wait times really started to ramp up around 10:00 am. At 10:30 we went in for lunch and were back out on the hill before 11:00 am. Robin headed off to join some friends, Blake and Noah headed to the Badlands and Ryan and I started on the L Hill .... the triple lift was running that day and the lines were pretty reasonable. Plan was to all meet up at the Village at 2pm. Ryan and I hit the Patio at Rusty's and enjoyed a pitcher of Canadian. Robin, Blake and Noah meet us at we headed to Waterfall and the South end of the resort spending the last couple of hours of the day. I was parked in the small lot next to the Beaver Tail Shack and when we left at 4:30 we ended the day with some hot fresh fried doe.
