Gotta love it when it's 78 degrees on April 10th. I don't think I have ever seen a sadder looking closing week. But on the upside, we will get a summer this year! Instead of last year where we had winter until the middle of June, this year we're starting summer in April. This means tubing will come that much quicker! As much as I love the winter in Steamboat I love the summer so much more. There is so much more to do and the torrists are spread out so much more. So grab your shorts and get…

So this past weekend I got to shred the gnar out in Utah at Powder Mountain, although there wasn't any powder it was still better than mud. It was a wonderful weekend riding with my parents and enjoying the ice. The season is coming to an end and the only thing I can think about is the amount of fun I am going to be having tubing!

When it's 60 degrees and clear blue sky days, there is really only one thing that can come of it. The celebration of Gapers! The colors come out, the shorts, the jeans, shirtless men, and sometimes almost women, all come out! It is a wonderful time full of mashed potato snow and maybe some drinks. What's important is that we still get out there and have some fun and enjoy the begining of spring as the winter goes into it's slumber. Gotta love it!

Having no snow almost came as a blessing on March 17th when the day couldn't have been more beautiful. If we don't have epic powder the next best thing is having the sun out, a pocket full of beers and good friends to shred the slush with. This was the case for last weekend's st. patty's day! It was a georgous day and spent celebrating like a true irish woman: drinking and laughing. It was one day to remember and now I am ready for some more snow!!
