I know a lot of people think that peak ski season is December – February.  I disagree.  Here’s why:

• Colorado’s snowiest month is March, followed by April.  Betcha didn’t know that, didja?
• The runs are packed with tourists over the holidays (Christmas, New Year’s, Martin Luther King Jr, Presidents’ Day, Valentine’s Day).  No thank you!
• There’s really nothing better than sitting in the sun, wearing a t-shirt and drinking an ice cold beer for apres ski
• I actually love the soft, mashed-potato snow.  It’s a million times better than skiing on ice and it helps prevent beginners from getting their speeds too high.

So I’ll let everyone else continue planning big ski vacations over the holidays.  But I’ll keep loving spring skiing.

If you disagree, I’d love to hear your reasons!
