Yeah, but it's early January! The last two days have been hanging around 50 degrees with a blue sky overhead and the sun blazing down. I carved up Mt Hood Meadows on both days, edging through slush, corn, and sometimes ice in the shade. The way down was refreshing, and thankfully the lift lines weren't really lines at all. Really just a coral that slowed us down enough to catch the lift back up. Standing in the sun I would start to sweat, and on the lifts the breeze-though strong-was warm.
This current Wy'east climate a huge contrast to the -40 windchills my Minnesota friends have out their doors right now. That's almost a 100 degree difference!
Crazy as it is, I'll never complain to see the sun, especially living on Mount Hood. What I fear I need to brace for though is when winter returns. The forecast is promising this spring weather through the weekend so I've got a week to work on my goggle tan. After that, hopefully just fresh snow without any rain...
