“With snow totals far above the seasonal average “With snow totals far above the seasonal average in many areas throughout the region, it is looking like it will be a great and long-lasting spring. Until then consider sticking to less consequential terrain choices and practice patience until these weak layers heal and springtime eventually arrives.”
