Can anyone guess why all this cold weather has a
"Bright Side" to look at?

It's -34C here early again, with a high temp possibly
up around -18C and there will be a lot of folks wondering
when this "deep freeze" is going to be over...

Tomorrow, that's the day.

At least according to the Weather Network. Oh Well, there’s
not much you can do other than bundle up and keep on smiling.

The Skiing, the Boarding, will be fantastic, it just takes
preperations to be able to use it.

Carry on... and with 93 runs open, that's not a problem.

The answer to the opening question is: You get to try on
everything you own, at once...

Not really, that was just a bad "cold weather" joke. The real
bright side to all this cold weather is that every day we have
these conditions, the cold sinks farther into the ground.
What that means is that when the Earth tilts, and Spring
finally comes with warmer temps, the hill will hold an
ambient colder ground temp for longer, giving us a thermal
cold reserve that will help to maintain great skiing for a little longer.

On top of that, if you actually do get used to these temps (and it
is surprisingly easy to do so), EVERYTHING, even a little warmer feels Great!
