Thanks Andy but no dumpage, they blew the forecast. We had rain mixed with sleet until 11:30 a.m., then it turned to sleet for about an hour, now it's a mix of sleet and snow and we've all got our fingers crossed the power doesn't go out. I was *thinking* I'd be cross-country skiing today, no such luck, just frozen roads and that's about it.
Garden City, on the other hand...
Generally, resorts out west close because of Forest Service permits. Generally, you can hike them and ski them even after they close. Some places close because of critters- Big Mountain Montana for instance closes the first or second week of April because that's when the grizzlies come out of hibernation. Gives a whole new meaning to "lunch break" up there!
