It was 75 degrees yesterday at Squaw and it was 90 degrees in Marin County yesterday. On the hill, if you had some real pitch, it was pretty skiable and a lot of fun. The big issue was when you hit the flatter areas. There was no amount of wax that would prevent the constant sticking (my skis were freshly waxed for hot weather). As I look at the weather forecast for the next couple of weeks, it has now finally sunk in that we are in the midst of this season's swan song.
I can say that it has been a great season (starting with 9 feet of snow over 8 days during christmas). I skied 6 days with Harbskisytems (3 with Harald and 3 with Diana). I entered the season as an advanced beginner (although the PSIA people told me I was a solid inetermediate) and I ended the season engaging both my skis on all my turns and comfortable on all terrain. I look forward to skiing with many of you next season at a couple of PMTS camps (no, I can't get my self excited about flying to colorado on May 1, to ski in soup). Until then, it's time for me and many of you to enjoy the warm weather. However if Harald did put something together at Mt Hood this summer, I might be persuaded to come out of my summer retirement.
