So as we roll into the second week of January 2010, its amazing to think about the ups and downs of this winter. Weeks of bitter cold, nothing but rain, excessive amounts of snow, there is nothing mother nature has not thrown our way to this point. Having tried to get out as much as possible this year, I have seen almost every type of condition that New England has to shell out. Packed powder, insane ice, the very rare powder day, or even days so cold that the snow could probably be confused with concrete; i have seen it all this winter.
But as I look back at it all, the best days have not really been affected by the weather. I think it is because to really truly enjoy skiing you have to try to enjoy the coldest days and the worse conditions. If you go out on the days that seem tough, it just makes the days with the best conditions even better. So next time you think its to cold, or the snow is to hard, or there is to much ice, buck up and go take a few turns.....i promise if you try to do this you will learn to enjoy skiing even more! Trust me , there is always fresh untracked snow to be found.....groomers to be carverd, and jibs to be shred....it just may not always be easy to find....
Its worth looking!
