It's over.





I knew it was bad, but I wasn't prepared for yesterday's news that this year's ski season is...over.
There, I said it. It's over.

My plans for Memorial Day had been to ski with my family at Arapahoe Basin. But the snow has been melting too fast and skier visits to the resorts are way down, so the resort managers announced yesterday that it's all over this weekend.

Stupid global warming.

"Guy on a Buffalo" is my new favorite series.

I will be forever in the debt of Mr. Travis Blevins who introduced me to the "Guy on a Buffalo" series today. All I can say is, "Wow!" You must at least watch the first episode. Once you do, you'll understand why I've reposted 3 episodes. It's like those potato chips in that old ad. "You can't watch just one..."





It appears that "Guy on a Buffalo" finds it's inspiration from the 1978 film "Buffalo Rider", which you can learn more about by clicking here.

My apologies to all of the animal rights activists out there in web-land. I just couldn't resist...

There will be skiing at A-Basin on Memorial Day, but...

...it looks like we'll have to upload and download from the Black Mountain Express lift to reach the snow. It's melting fast at the bottom of the hill.

I wish it was January 2009.

I'm in Oklahoma tonight, for my day-job.

And I'm thinking about how bad the 2011-2012 ski season turned out. No March or April snow to speak of in Colorado. Big bummer.

After I found the following video on YouTube, I wish it was January 2009.

Colorado = Ski Country USA

Thanks to @ColoradoSkiUSA for this photo of an old-school poster hanging up somewhere in Silverton. Just another way to obsess about how I would rather be skiing...
