Sunshine leads the group on the corduroy at Killington.

The calendar may say spring, but winter is still in full effect at Killington. Temperatures in the area have been hovering at the freezing mark with a very un-spring like cold combination of snow and drizzle falling most of the day.

Mary ventured out on the slopes today. I spent my time finishing our tax package to provide to our accountant for our 2010 income taxes. I finished collating all of the paperwork around 3:45 this afternoon; just about the time Speaker of the House John Boehner (R, Ohio) gave his riveting speech (not!) on how well the politicians we send to Washington are working together to craft a federal budget. Makes you sort of wonder, doesn't it? But I digress....

Mary reported that surface conditions today were a mix of groomed terrain and fresh powder from overnight snow. Skiable terrain at the resort has shrunk from recent weeks, as the resort begins its spring shut down process. Lifts operating today included Snowshed, SuperStar, K1, the Canyon Quad, and Snowdon.

The weekend forecast calls for warming temperatures and spring skiing conditions. With our tax package prepared, and my all important Masters picks made, I plan on taking a few runs myself over the next couple of days.

Hope to see you on the slopes.
