2. Play hooky and go snowboarding NOW!
This is the sweetest time of the year for riding. Although the crocuses and
daffs are pushing up, and there were 3 robins fluttering around on the snowy
slope at Belleayre this week, there is still great snow to be ridden!
I've been riding at Stratton, Stowe, Hunter, and Belleayre in the last 10
days. Believe it or not, the conditions were EXCELLENT! Especially in NY
state at Hunter last week and Belleayre on Monday, where they didn't have
the rain they had up north. The snow has somehow been kept in great shape.
Halfpipes are more friendly this time of year.
There's almost no one on the slopes on weekdays. Parking is a breeze. There
are all kinds of lift ticket and lodging specials at the mountains. The
weather is often in the 50's. Take a group lesson on a weekday to enhance
your skills and you'll probably be the only one in the class.
Play hooky and go snowboarding if you can. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??
