We are in another warming trend. The next 5 days should be in the mid 40s on the mountain. Today we went to Copper Mt. The parking lot was half empty. Again verifying that the crowds will not be here this week. Maybe NEXT week. The tops of the mountains have all lost their snow. Another sign that the warm temps and lack of snow is taking its toll is that many of the Nordic centers are closing for the season. These centers usually stay open pass the closing dates of the resorts to allow for x-country and snow-shoeing. Businesses are starting to take a hit. Many of my skiing friends are already thinking about calling it quits for the season.
