Yes winter has finally begun.  We have had some solid pow days earlier in the season, and we did have a solid base from October snow falls BUT we haven’t had the same kind of pow days that we want. So the El Nino water temps off the Sth American coast have come back down to normal and the weather people say that we can expect more ‘wintery … Continue reading Winter has arrived… finally.
