MARCH 2 MEETING UPDATE - SEE SKI CENTER FOR SALE PAGE!

04/20/19. 4:47AM. Missed the report yesterday due to way to much playing with a 3 and 5 year old.  Currently 49 degrees and rain.  Noon forecast of 66 and cloudy.  Daytime forecast of 71 and clearing.  Sunday 66 with variable cloudiness.  Monday 65 and mostly cloudy with showers.  1.11 inch of rain already in the last 24 hours.  

04/18/19  5:37AM  46 degrees and raining,  Noon forecast of 57 and cloudy.  Daytime high of 63 with variable cloudiness.  As the plowed snow banks recede, you find lots of items.  A lot of peeled off kick wax containers, a few gloves and tissues etc.  So far I have only found 5 cents.  Usually my total for the spring is 2 to 3 dollars worth of change.  With about 1/2 the footprint now of a couple of weeks ago, I hope to get up to the 1 dollar value as the rest of the plowed snows get recycled.  Friday 66 periods of rain and mild.  Saturday 68 and mostly cloudy.  Sunday 62 rather cloudy with a few showers.  

04/17/19  6:56AM  25 degrees and clear skies.  Noon forecast of 54 and mostly sunny.  Daytime of 59 and mostly sunny. I had to scrape the trucks windows this morning.  Thursday 62 with variable cloudiness.  Friday 66 with periods of rain.  Saturday 66 mostly cloudy with showers.  Still a little snow visable along the back edge of the open field.  Plowed snow at the edge of the parking lot will be around for awhile.  Two trees cut up on secondary trails yesterday.  Trails are still too wet to try to get very much work done.

04/16/19 5:30AM Welcome to winter 2.0.  Somewhere the message that the ski season is over and 70 degree temperature is welcome got miss filed.  31 degrees and mostly clear.  Noon forecast of 44 and mostly sunny.  Daytime 48 partly sunny and windy.   We did have some fairly heavy snow yesterday off and on in the air.  Ground started to whiten up some, but nothing accumulated as the ground temperature was a bit to warm.  Wednesday 58 mostly sunny and not as cool.  Thursday 62 with variable cloudiness.  Friday 68 with a passing shower or two.  Whatever this is - a blog or ski condition report etc. will be a couple of hours late tomorrow.  I will be away from a computer in the morning.

  I have placed a summary of the March 2 meeting on the ski center for sale page.  Also included is a questionaire that if you have time I would love to hear where you would like to see the ski center go.  Questionaires will be available at the ski center.  If you prefer to print it out and mail that is also very helpfull.  Thanks for your help
