I think wensday I'm skiing...

As for the park it's decent, kind of weird when it is like 70 out but it is a fun all park day.

they're aiming for some time around easter. If these cool temps remaind they might make it. They're going to start bulldozing snow on unpopular runs and move to like Park run and Central park.

it sucks man, the time to ride at Bear is during the week.... If you can make it up Monday through Friday, you'll be set. Stay away on Saturdays. If you MUST come on a weekend, come on Sundays, by that point, it's a litle less crowded than Saturday.
