Spring Skiing in April and Birger Vignes

After hearing reports that some new snow at Prospect had make for "fantastic" skiing, Evan, Erik, Keith, and I decided to give the trails a whirl. It was warm and slow, but the snow coverage was great and skiing in t-shirts (and skirts) was a definite bonus.

 

Birger Vignes is more than a "regular" at Prospect: today was his 155th day of skiing this season. He told us that he was going for a personal record of 160 days of skiing this year. Go Birger!
