Welcome spring! Temperatures will be increasing over the next day or two and level off in the mid-70's for the foreseeable future. To say that this is unprecedented for this time of year across such a large area of the US is an understatement. Take a look at the predicted high temperature map for Wednesday below... simply amazing!!

Even more impressive is that the warmth is here to stay. Every day through at least early next week is likely to feature temperatures 15-25 degrees above average.

I'll post an update sometime mid-week with a detailed look at local ski conditions, including a list of who will be open this coming weekend and what you can expect as far as weekend weather (hint: sun screen required)!
