I was hesitant this morning, but I am glad I went out. The skiing was great, and additional terrain was opened up this afternoon. Nice to see Mark W. on the hill, and lots of little ones. The toughest part for me was walking from the truck to the ski area. My top speed was almost 60km/hr, so not much hesitation on the slopes.
Live music in the bar today from 3:00 to 5:00pm
END OF SEASON UPDATE 
At the moment it appears that mother nature has stopped spitting at us. My FB feed has been full of updates from ski areas all over North America and beyond, not as fortunate as we have been. The BMR ops team has adapted to challenges, and given us consistent groomers. We would have liked them to have more snow to work with, but they have done an amazing job.
I have chosen not to post some of the images from other mountains, incase someone glancing at the blog thinks they are from here.
Cooling trend forecast to start Saturday, with new snow on Tuesday.
I had planned to ski home, but the groomer had not been from Beaver Trail around and down Jolly Jack. Thanks to my friends (and neighbours) for the ride home. I prefer not to drive down on Sugar Days.

I happened to be out on my deck a couple of weeks ago when Al was walking by. He told me about bracelayer, and the endorsement from a cabin full of physiotherapists.
I ordered a pair, wore them in the cabin for a bit, and today I put them to the test on the hill. Too many folks on the hill that I wanted to see, and not happy after a month of not skiing.
Bracelayer supports the knees and apparently helps with retraining the alignment of the leg. One theory being that whatever I have done to compensate for the original problem has contributed to additional pain.
I am happy with my four runs today. Tolerable pain at the original site, but none of the extreme pain I had been dealing with in certain positions.
I didn't get a photo, but the family living behind me are all snowboarding now. I couldn't catch 3 of the kids, but was intrigued watching the four year old boy. He was very tired, and ready to go home, but his stance and balance were excellent, and he has mastered technique and subtle foot movements that far exceed what I usually see in beginner snowboarders.
Transition Industries farmed more snow for another big feature. If you want to see some talented riders, head on over to the carpet area.

End of Season update
It’s no secret that it
has been a challenging snow year, and with warmer temperatures on the horizon,
we must play the cards that mother nature has dealt us.
As of writing, Baldy
Mountain Resort will remain open 7 days a week until April 6th as planned.
As for the last few weeks up until April 19th, they’re now a bit up in the air. We will have an update closer to the end of March.
Thanks to the BMR team for delivering on quality skiing without a lot of help from mother nature. Our friends down the road at Phoenix are struggling, and Big White just announced that they have now opened all of their runs for the first time this season.
