After an excellent December and?January, February and most of March had been dry.? This recent dumping has put smiles back on the faces of skiers and snowboarders, many of whom are here for spring break!? I’ve heard of a few mountian bike trips, that were scheduled for the weekend, being postponed so everyone could go out and enjoy the mountain’s new snow.?
