It takes so long to build up...


...and yet each spring, the snow melts at a pace that is disturbingly rapid. With daytime temps reaching 70 degrees, the cooling effect of the snow surface is enogh to preserve the multiple feet that have packed down over the past several months. And so here we are, a week away from May Day and all but six or seven ski resorts remain open in New England. While earning money takes a back seat to plain old public relations, there is a positive yet somber vibe in the mountains. We celebrate a exciting and successful ski season, but at the same time, we say goodbye to another year of fun, friends, and memories. And while I hope to ski two and maybe three more weekends I sense the snow melting at an even more rapid pace now. The nighs are no longer cold and the days are much less short. Like everything in life, we are in the transition of cycles.
