Funny that February is stretched extra long this year, because on this 29th day of what is typically Vail's coldest month, it feels about as much like spring as any day in April.
Of course, that hasn't appeared to prevent the ski crowds, whose cars are lining the Frontage Road from Lionshead to Cascade. If this is any indication, it looks like we could have a busy weekend on our hands.
Given the 40-plus temperatures, we recommended staying out of the Back Bowls until around noon when the frozen slush is thawed and soft.
Even if the thermometer hits 50 on Saturday, don't bust out your bikinis just yet, because according to the forecast, we've got what could be a big load of snow on the way for Sunday.
Remember your sunscreen and your manners on the mountain this weekend!
