Spring Like Kinda Day...

Today the sun is shining bright, and the high is going to be upwards of 60F. Ski conditions are still good throughout the first part of the day. Later in the day it turns slushy, then icy when the sun goes down. Tomorrow we are expecting some rain, then hopefully with cooler temperatures it will turn into snow. Have a wonderful Saturday, we sure will!
