Some friends and I spent a week skiing Heavenly last feb. Two of us had the opprtunity to ski there before. I hadn’t been there since feb. of 1970!! Sunshine and enough snow to have a great time!! And one of the most beautiful vistas on earth. That’s what it’s all about. I’ve got another friend that won’t hit the hill unless the conditions meet his criteria for “good” skiing. Poor guy, doesn’t seem to get it up much. I’m 56 years old and I find myself turning a little more, but there’s nothing like pointing ‘em downhill, EVERY CHANCE I GET!!! And praise the groomers every “mild” winter they keep it skiable for us!! Good job guys!

Another school of thought is… we are overdue!
One word on the mountain says “an early winter”?
We have every reason to be stoked either way!
Wax ‘em if ya got’em… see ya on the hill.

You are correct 100%. I just moved to the Tahoe area and keep hearing people talking about the last few years as being “mild winters”. Well… moving from Phoenix and haven’t seen snow in 2 years (N. AZ usually has SOME sort of winter, not not recently), “mild” is good enough. Then… I had someone give me better insight into this phenomenon. “Mild” only meant 56ft of snow, not the 60-70ft kind. “Oh.” I said. “Well, that IS something huh?” I am originally from NW Pennsylvania, which is lacking in tall mountains, but our Lake Effect Snow coming off of Lake Erie has given me a good concept of winter condition driving, methods of layering clothing, etc. So I am ready for whatever type of winter we will see this year!
