For some reason this didnt work the first time i tried to post it so here goes try 2.  So last year i posted a thread of me and my friend skiing behind my ca, down embankments and off rope swings with our skis on. This year has been such a good winter I managed to do a little better Its almost a month and half since my mountain closed yet there is still plenty of snow. Looking outside for the past month you would never think there was any snow left. Here are a couple picutes from what will probly be my last day. Pictures kinda suck cuz the sober camera man was doing video.

The snow sucked and the features were not great but i still had fun. I skied top to bottom without stopping this late with some good friends and that made it super fun. So get out there and ski whatever little patch of snow you have left. Summer is not here yet.

You need to use the insert media button on the fancy ns editing toolbar thing.

...And to answer your question, yes my mountain still has snow, about 200cm still, but melting pretty fast.

Yeah!  They have way to much snow.  Pics are from a hike last weekend.  Great spring slush!


Top of the cliff about a month after closing!

And finally a video of easter chutes.

I hope all these links work, or it's a big "F" for me.
