April Showers

Hard to believe it's April already! There are a few showers passing through today, and most of the snow here in the Ogden Valley has been gone for a while. Wolf Mountain closed and already has lots of bare spots. Snowbasin is holding out a couple more weeks, and spring skiing there is reportedly good but make sure you go in the morning as afternoon skiing is quite slushy. As for Powder Mountain, night skiing closed on March 31st. Also closed at Powder Mountain is powder skiing at Lightening Ridge and the Powder Country Shuttle.

The Ogden Valley Ski Team, U-16 and up racers have one final race called the Last Chance race at Snowbird resort. It was supposed to be both GS & Slalom, but due to lack of snow they'll only be holding the slalom portion of the race. It will take place April 6, 7 & 8. A couple of the FIS racers will be traveling to Mammoth/Sugar Bowl to attend the Western Spring Series at the same time. Good Luck to all!

Pineview Resevoir is quickly thawing and ice fishing has been over for a couple of weeks at least. Won't be long before you can launch your boat though.

Things are just starting to green-up in the Valley, and rivers, creeks and streams are all flowing. It's a great time to do some pruning, aerate the lawn, and put some weed and feed on the grass. Hope you're all enjoying these beautiful spring days!
