It was partly cloudy and warmer in Sun Valley this morning. There was a temperature inversion on Bald Mountain and the hardpack groom is best skied in the morning, while the bowls and southern exposures soften with afternoon's higher temperatures. Baldy groom this morning was better than usual, and usually it is superb. Limelight, Warm Springs, Greyhawk, Flying Squirrel and Janss Pass were the best we found.
Nordic skiing continues to be very good throughout the valley, but the spring thaws always effect lower elevations first. Galena Lodge will be closed for the season in less than three weeks, so Nordic skiers should enjoy its amenities while they are available. There is excellent and safe backcountry skiing to be found throughout the region. Be careful of steep slopes on northern exposures, be smart, pay attention and phone 622-8027 and listen carefully to the day's avalanche advisory before going out.
This from Winston Churchill: "We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English."
