FROM THE EDITOR The Un-Winter As I’m writing this column, it is sunny and 61 degrees and my five year-old has asked me for the third time, “Is it spring today?” With the lack of snow and cold temps this has been a frustrating season for outdoor recreation. Here it is, March, that transition time of the year! I recommend that you visit the downhill and cross country ski centers and the backcountry to take advantage of what’s left of winter. Despite the lack of snow in your backyard, the downhill ski areas have been making it throughout the season. It’s been more challenging for cross country ski centers, but those with elevation or in the right location have good skiing conditions. So, please visit the ski resorts this month! If you’re in the backcountry, patronize the local outfitters, restaurants and lodging establishments. It has also been a challenging season for the retailers, so take advantage of their winter clearance sales or start making your spring purchases and service appointments. As always, please support our advertisers and tell them where you saw their ad. They help bring this magazine to you! Thanks. Please support our advertisers and tell them where you saw their ad!
