Saturday 02/25/12

It was a BLUE BIRD morning. Not a single cloud in the sky. That was the good news. The winds turned around to the S-SW bringing in warm air which raised the temps to the high 30s-low 40s on the mountain. There was alot of snow melt yesterday. After breakfast, we decided to try and go skiing at Keystone. As we drove there, many signs were up indicating that the parking lots were FULL and to use the alternate lot about 2 miles away. This also meant that the lift lines would be 20-30 minutes. So we drove up the road to A-Basin and found the same conditions. At the resort we did a U-turn and went to the Nordic Center for snow-shoeing.

While the snow conditions were good, at the top of many trails, the snow had completely blown away. We snow shooed for about 2 hours and returned home and relaxed the rest of the day. The winds are suppose to die down on Sunday afternoon.
