Well, it's that time of year again folks- when I have to ask you to stop what your doing, sit you down, and inform you about the birds and the bees... That's right, the birds and the bees returned early this year, and spring has imposed itself over our winter season. All good things must come to an end and our season will end on Saturday, at 5pm. And as we shake our fists at the sun for melting our precious snow, we must remember that without the sun, it would be perpetual winter for all eternity...do we want that? I guess that will be my project for the Summer. Operation destroy the sun commences, Mu-ha-ha-ha.
Although Tuesday was the first official day of spring, the season's conditions came early for us here at Bolton Valley (actually the past few days have felt more like summer than spring.) It's hard to turn a cold shoulder to this beautiful spring weather, but it appears that the blue skies and sunshine will cut our season short. We are shooting to make it until Saturday March 24th, at 5pm. But, we'll have to take a look at conditions this afternoon to determine if we'll be able to make it. So, stay tuned to the snow report for the latest updates. Tickets for the last couple of days of the season will be just $25 for all ages. The Vista Quad will be up and running with a handful of trails, so be sure to get your last runs of the season in. And, while the season may be coming to an end, there are still some great bump runs to be had on Spillway and some fun cruising on Beech Seal. All open terrain is for experts only.
My robot weather friend has informed me that the warm weather will keep on rolling. For the final couple of days of the season, temperatures will "drop" down to the 50s. The blue skies and sunshine will stick around for Friday and we have some clouds moving in for Saturday.
Live Music: The Dewey Drive Band will wrap the season up on Saturday (3/24). Get your feet churning and your ears raging at the James Moore Tavern!
Trivia Question of the Week: We received several correct responses to our trivia question of the week, but we can award only one winner. Congratulations to Dan who wrote in with the correct answer of “The assassination of Julius Caesar.”
The bad news is that Pond Skimming is being canceled this year. With the dwindling supply of slushy snow on the mountain we just won't be able to build a pond this year. But wait, don't trash your costume ideas just yet. Since the theme this year for Pond Skimming was Rock Stars and Musicians, we figured we'd call an audible and do some Spring Skiing Karaoke.
We'll give away a season's pass to the best adult and youth participants. Registration will be at noon and singing begins at 1pm, this Saturday (3/24).
All Access Season Passes for the 2012-2013 Season are now on sale at the same low prices that were offered last spring. A 2012-13 Bolton Valley All Access Season Pass includes:
- Unlimited alpine skiing and riding
- Access to 100km of Nordic and backcountry skiing
- 20% discounts on rentals, retail shop purchases, group ski and ride lessons, and lodging
- Sports Center Membership including access to an indoor heated pool, hot tub, and sauna
Prices are just $449 for adults and prices for youth start at just $159 (when purchased with a parent's adult All Access Season Pass). These prices will expire after April 3, 2012.
As another season comes to a close, all we can do is look back at the memories made during this season. We would like to thank everyone who skied and rode with us this year. We are looking forward to seeing all of you back at Bolton Valley next season. Get your last runs in by Saturday and stay well folks.
Until next winter,
Michael the Snow Reporter
