I'm going to declare the low hanging fruit at Mission is officially gone, I hiked/skinned to the top today, yes in the rain, and the skiing was fine, but it is hard (maybe impossible now) to ski off the top and get 1000 vert. without taking off your skis once or twice. I hate to see the easy turns gone, maybe I need to get my bike out, and at least see if the tires will hold air.

...officially gone...
always hard to say good-bye to a good season. I'm not giving up yet though. Come October we'll be thinking 500 foot runs are something special, so I'll see you on Windy Ridge for some shorties over the next couple weeks!
Yep, I was up on the 3rd and felt the same way. As much as I love the snow I decided it was time to switch to summer mode. Hell, I even took the ski racks off my car, just to make it official.
