Last Friday when people were sunbathing in Caras Park and wearing tank tops and flip flops, enjoying the unusually warm spring weather, I was not. When people in coffee shops were talking about fishing or hiking or getting on the river, I wanted to plug my ears.
That’s because I was praying for snow, and Mother Nature answered my prayers yesterday! You see, I’m still in ski mode. And I won’t apologize. After all, it’s still the beginning of March. Let it snow. That’s not too much to ask.
The first spring-like day is always tricky. Don’t get me wrong. I love the Garden City in spring. I love running outdoors. And the first real warm day gets everyone in spring mode. But I’m not done with winter. And winter is, apparently, not done with us. If only I could’ve skipped work to head to the mountain today. From reports from friends who took off for the hills, skiing at the top of Snowbowl was great. Eight inches in 24 hours for those who hadn’t heard. Discovery Ski Area at Georgetown Lake also received 8 inches. But the dump of all daddy dumps was at Lost Trail. A foot people. A good 12 inches is what the ski area reported.
Ahhh…music to my ears.
