Get on some wide skis and go fast and use a lot of power in your turns and you should be just fine getting through the mashed potatoes..in a typical warmer ski season you're gonna encounter spring conditions a lot so might as well work on your mashed potato skiing. Get forward and power through them.

Felt good to get on the XC skis again!....Snow was pretty easy to break trail through....Could get a nice kick/glide once I looped around to my tracks....

Keeps you on your toes. Lil more carpe diem, lil less "if you dont do it this year..."

Tuesday and Wednesday I'm definitely gonna try to ski during the daytime a little bit..either leave work early or not go at all.  Sunny spring days are second to pow days.  I don't care what month it is..I like em a lot shit I even enjoyed skiing on glacial hardpack in the rain last night.

Remember last year when it was in the upper 70s in late February and then we ended up receiving a foot+ of new snow in mid march and blue stayed open until April..have some faith..this last warm spell was short..next weeks will be a humdinger in a bad way..let's hope March comes in like a lion...

This is the new normal. You can't have everything...Root Friday opening..100% open by New Years, multiple weekday pow days and cold until the first day of spring. You take the good you take the bad you take em both and then you have the facts of lyfe the facts of lyfe.

Nice I know Root loves the spring skiing days regardless of the month..so what if it's mashed tators in mid march makes up for the 25 degrees and cloudy end of season party.

I'll be up near first chair on Wednesday. Demo day. Be putting in a long day as a buddy will be coming up a bit later in the morning to snowboard, and he'll want to put in a strong session to get his money on his day ticket. 

Might even be tailgating at some point

Looks like the timing is perfect as the precipitation will set in around dusk which means not much will be wasted to the warmth of today..3-5"+ and its a thumper!!

I'm thinking 5" total.

They should close at 6 pm for lack of visibility and for maximum freshies tomorrow morning.  

Great idea. 👍
