I'm more concerned with this upcoming Thursday into the weekend weather...

Man up, Mike!  You really going to let super windy, 45 to 50+ degree temps, and ncp on Thurs/Fri (all the way to Tremblant) followed by a freeze on Saturday slow you down?  I’m not, I’ll be skiing........out west, hopefully, maybe.

Sure, the last couple of weekends were better than some (cough...Jason....cough) expected, but there ain’t enough lipstick in the world for the pig that is this ski weekend in the NE!

Better get them airline tix booked! It's already Tuesday!

I booked Seattle yesterday, have today to cancel.  Lots of moving parts to put in place.  Conditions should be good if it comes off.

I still need to do the Seattle thing one of these days.  Might have an opportunity to do something around Easter as part of a work trip to AK...I wonder if places will still be open around the 18-20th....

Def the food is bangin'

I was there for Jazz Fest one year ---- blew my mind

Street performers are world class too

Looks like Crystal’s closing date is April 21.  Often the will close for a bit and the reopen Green Valley for turns through Memorial Day.  Baker closing April 21.  Alpental weekends only in April.

Better than that, the guide I was out with a few weeks ago said the best time to plan a trip is in April when there is week plus of sunny days, when the backcountry will be off the hook.

I couldn’t get this weekend past a  50/50 prop, so I cancelled and will rebook if things change.  Saturday looking warmer out there than it did a couple days ago.....

We just broke the 300 inch mark last night. 17 in 24 and 22 for the 48 puts us at 305! Stoked. Monday turns into spring. The wind machine is on, hopefully it doesn’t completely f up the back country.

You should check out Silverton some time JTG. The San Juan’s are incredible.

Hmmm...I could easily do a stopover in Seattle on my way to AK...may have to check my FF miles...

My other thought was Mt Bachelor...Oregon is on my to-do list as well.  Believe Bachelor stays fully open into May.

what about connecting in Vancouver an hitting up Whistler.  They are giving the place away that time of year.  You will find anything you want there.

Not a bad idea - plus everything in Canada is around 30% off right!?

So Jason, what do you see in your crystal ball regarding the southerly flowing picking back up mid-week next week, with a warming trend through the end of the week/weekend?

Looking to pull the trigger on some Placid lodging for that weekend, and forecast highs in the 40s would make for a great spring weekend!

Breckenridge officially extended their season to Memorial Day!

I’m sitting in 80deg New Orleans without a computer
All I know is my buddy  landed in Denver right before they closed the airport and is skiing at copper now
Insanely good conditions

Excuses, excuses!

50 and sunny

it's giving me spring fever

i'm ready for pond fishing

This sure turned around quick:

The proverbial fat ladies, the spring peepers, they are singing.....

My meteorologist friend has been saying for last couple weeks that mid-march was when the flip would get switched to full on spring and looks like he was spot on.

Currently 60 here in Syracuse at 8 AM. Right on cue...

And pompous Rebecca has been saying exactly the opposite she's always so right and she's always proving it'll be interesting to see how she spends this one if it comes to pass.
