Cold, clear, blower, and most importantly, closed!

Someone forgot to tell Mother Nature that its Spring in Colorado- she just keeps on giving! Despite Wolf Creek being officially closed for the season, owner/mtn manager Davey Pitcher invited a few of us up for a few laps in between a little end-of-season maintenance. Wolf Creek is a family owned and operated ski area that still focuses on skiing- not real estate and shopping, so it seemed appropriate that Davey would not let the recent storm go to waste.
