Spring has been unseasonably cool which has most of us pining for warm-consistently warm-weather. But for winter diehards the conditions have been remarkably conducive to skiing. May 11th dawned with a winter storm creeping eastward after dropping a foot and a half on the mountain leaving spotty clouds and morning temperatures in the low 20’s. Skiing was UN-believable…knee deep or better in the Paranoids and consistent into Saint Anton. Run after run. Pure winter snow until late in the afternoon. Upper Dry Creek, Dave’s, Climax…whew! How many ski areas can claim great powder days in May? Only one that I can think of…Mammoth Mountain!
