That’s right. A lift ticket today was only a dollar. I paid in quarters.

Yesterday was a warm day in the North Country. Temperatures were in the 50s, and then it rained last night. After that, it got cold. Put that all together and you’ve got the recipe for a fast and firm ski day.

It’s been a roller coaster of a month in terms of temperatures and precipitation in the East. How’s the base holding up at Whiteface Mountain?

The snow was amazing, there was plenty of terrain open, and the views were five star!

And just like that, I’ve reached the century mark in days skied this season. Where has the time gone?

For the fourth time in nine days, I was treated to a powder day. You could say life is pretty dang good.

Good things come to those who ski, and fortunately, I ski.

After 51 long days deep in the Adirondack Mountains, wrangling in run after run on his trusty steed, Armada, Wild Bill passed more than two million vertical feet skied this season today.

After Monday’s warm temperatures, which were followed by yesterday’s big freeze, and very windy conditions, I was a little worried about how Whiteface would be today, but it ended up being pretty nice.

Today was yet another complicated weather day for skiing here in the East.
