Your skis might still come in handy

It has been a great year for skiing. In the US at least. In Europe, it has actually been terrible.

US ski reports are predicting it will be a great spring skiing season as well. According to USA Today, a bunch of resorts are extending their seasons:

In Colorado, three resorts –Purgatory, Monarch and Wolf Creek– have extended their seasons into April, and Arapahoe Basin probably won’t close until early June. Oregon’s Mount Bachelor is supposed to have the best skiing in years this year and will be open through mid-May. In California, Lake Tahoe has had a lot of snow this year and Alpine Meadows, which stays open well into May, January snowfall was almost double the norm. Great conditions are reported from New Hampshire’s Wildcat Mountain Ski Area, as well. The resort won’t close until early May.
