Summit County Ski Season, a Retrospective

Breck, Copper, Keystone Closed, but Arapahoe lives on

What a ski year!  The best snow we've had in more years than most of us can remember, and the longest winter, as well.  We are still getting snow, believe it or not.  We get a couple of days of 50-60 degree weather followed by a couple of days of snow.  Been going this way for a month or more. 

But I still love Spring in the high country.  Breckenridge, Copper Mountain and Keystone lifts are shut down.  The ony skiers are hearty souls who don't mind hiking to the remaining snow fields.  Arapahoe Basin, however, will likely be open most of the summer.  The snow never dies there. 

So, locals are going on vacation, visitors are staying home, and Mary and I are going to conferences - about three in the next month or so.

Currently, we are in Annapolis, Maryland attending the biannual conference of the Cyber Professionals, a group of (sort of) elite Realtors who have a major focus on the use of technology in their businesses.  We spend two days twice a year just sharing what we know, hoping to be able to provide more and better service to our customers and clients.  The better part of today has been involved in learning and (in my case) teaching the fine art of blogging.  (Now, don't you feel special?)

We spent a day yesterday (before the conference) walking, shopping, eating and drinking down by the water, wearing shorts and taking it easy.  Back home to snow and unpredictable weather soon enough. 

Next month, it's off to Whistler for the summer meeting of the Rocky Mountain Resort Alliance.  Still in the mountains, but close to the ocean, or at least to Puget Sound.
