The spring BBQs at Black Mountain Lodge are in prime season. I had a stellar pulled pork sandwich up there today. Jenny, here, was especially fascinated by the food presentation. Hard to go wrong having BBQ on a day like this. Oh yeah, skied some great slush bumps.

No Lake Reveal just yet. I probed around and the snow was about 3' deep until I hit the "Lake Ice". No sign of water. Despite the warm weather, March is a little early for pond skimming. Had just another beautiful spring day here. Saturday looks to be another good one and there are snowflake pictures in the Sunday/Monday forecast. Lots of people, both working and playing, enjoying the nice day here.

Again, I had another nice spring skiing afternoon yesterday. The Spine is still great although Paliwog is getting a little narrow. The Upper Mountain runs I skied, Dorsey's Downhill, West Wall, and West Gulley, were all really good early spring skiing. Dorsey's Downhill is named after 30-year Snowcat Operator Gerry Dorsey. That guy seems to make snow with his cat. I know most of you have carved many a turn enjoying his work.

After a full career teaching music to middle school kids and an (overlapping) 25 years with the Arpahoe Basin Ski Patrol, Dave Myers is retiring. He will be sorely missed. Dave has always been one of those strong, quiet, steady guys getting the job done every day. I always felt confident and secure when I knew Dave was taking care of the "issue du jour." I guess he will be whittlin' away in his rocker on the porch of his house near Woodland Park. Those are some big shoes to fill. The place won't quite be the same without him. Take care of yourself Dave.

Beach season was in full swing in the Early Riser Parking Lot. BBQ's and beach attire were the themes. I did a little grazing down there myself and had a bratwurst with Chris Carson and all the Team Summit folks having their annual BBQ. The afternoon, again, was fantastic spring skiing. Had several fun runs with Patio and Becs. Just another really beautiful day.

Can the sky be anymore blue? Absolutely incredible afternoon here. Had a couple of great slush runs on Slalom Slope and Columbine a bit ago. Dragon still had good winter snow. We are looking at one spectacular weekend. Beach season has arrived. Grab the skis and the hawaiian shirt.

Another beautiful day on the hill. Just had some great runs on Columbine and Shining Light in Montezuma Bowl, and Slalom Slope, Lenawee Parks, Sundance and Wrangler on the Front Side. Way cool. Skied from about 1-3 PM and the conditions were perfect. Soft in Zuma and mostly winter snow on the Front Side. Looks like we are heading right into Beach Season.

The storm didn't quite materialize the way I hoped, but we have still had very nice days up here. Attached are some photos a friend took Monday.
