    Funny that 2 or 3 inches of fresh can be the best conditions of the season. Boler was very nice this morning as well. Get ready for ice storm 2.0 on Monday.

    I missed out skiing there back in March this year. Pouring rain caused them to close the hill when we visited. Meanwhile Boler had some nice spring skiing that day.
