I think it's natural for humans to look forward to spring, with it's posies and warm breezes. And it is coming. But if the proverbial fat lady is singing to signal the end of winter, it's being blown back down her pipes as she carves it up at 35 mph here at Boyne Mountain.

Make no mistake, the kind of spring your brain is envisioning is not happening yet, not here. Well, the sunshine and long days are here, but the breezes, while mild in comparison to January, are still cool. The nights are still cold, giving us a primo sliding surface. Our huge snowpack is thus far undiminished. It's still a wall-to-wall tight-looped berber.

Ask yourself this: what is wallowing at home in denial going to get you? At best, you might get caught up with reading your periodicals - exciting. You'll mope around the house the whole weekend, thinking about and wishing for all the wonderful things that come with spring. And then on Monday (or the following Monday if your family is on spring break), you will check back here and see the pictures I'm going to post which show how awesome the sliding and suntanning were here at the Mountain. You'll see tan faces collecting all the fun in sight. And you'll notice that there aren't enough of them to create even the beginning of a lift line. Don't let this happen to you.

PS   I couldn't wait to show you the evidence - here's what it looked like this morning (Friday) at Boyne Mountain. Thanks to Jackie Lammert for carving an arc for me - and, no, she is not the Fat Lady.
