Last call for the 2008/2009 ski season   

It is hard to believe winter is over and time is running out for to make your last tracks in the snow.

Ski season goes on despite a really bad week   

Ski season goes on despite a really bad week. I will be the first to say that the 10 day period in early to mid-March wasn’t nice for what has been an outstanding winter.

Backyards are green but the slopes are still white   

Sure, the trail counts are going down and ski surfaces may not be packed powder any longer, but some of my favorite skiing is still to come.

Spring is here but you wouldn’t know it from the snow   

Spring is here but you wouldn’t know it from the snow. While you backyard might be looking a little green, the white stuff is still holding deep at local resorts.

Spring skiing begins March 1st with mid-winter conditions   

Spring skiing begins March 1st with mid-winter conditions. Not a bare spot on the mountains and trail counts are running high for this time of the year.

A trip down lover’s lane for Valentine's Day   

Conditions at Woods Valley were lovely indeed, but for one Central New York couple, they were unforgettable on that day.

Great skiing coming for President's week   

After going nearly all of January snowy and colder than normal, early February brought signs of spring with rain and warmth.

6 more weeks of winter good for the ski industry   

  Last week I left you hoping for a bright sunny day for Groundhog Day Monday. Our positive thoughts paid off with Phil predicting another 6 weeks of winter. I trekked back to my shed the other day to get something and noticed how deep the snow pack is. It’s even deeper on the mountains with a machine groomed, packed powder surface. If you are looking to learn to ski around central and western Onondaga County, give the Camillus Ski Association a try.

No January thaw just fine for skiers   

So much for a January thaw! The ski and snow board industry is heavily dependant on what Mother Nature provides. And from New Years day through the end of the month, she has been sweet to Central New York. What will happen on February 2nd, Groundhog Day. It’s been a very slow start to my ski season but looks to get much better.

The ski report gets HUGE starting this week   

The weekly WSTM Ski Report is getting HUGE starting this week! You’ll notice two ski areas have been added to it.

Skiers & boarders are a hardy bunch in CNY   

Cold weather is a good thing. Without it we would have no snow. No snow=no skiing.

Get that monkey wrench out of this ski season   

For week six of my ski blog and the ski season, winter is heading into prime time.

A Happy New Year for skiers and boarders   

As we bring in 2009, ski conditions are looking good. Lots of cold and snow with plenty going on at resorts.

Great ski conditions for the holiday break   

After the big northeast snowstorm, then an arctic intrusion with tons of lake effect snow and cold weather making for great snowmaking conditions, some areas are already fully open.

Ski areas likely to get more close-to-home traffic   

Between the slow national economy and gas prices dropping, upstate New York ski areas could see more visitors this year, with more skiers staying closer to home.

Skiing, Santa, & a steal of a lift ticket deal   

Lift tickets make for great stocking stuffers, and a couple of resorts are giving back this holiday season.

Ski conditions are like a box of chocolates this week   

This week's ski conditions are still limited with more of the trails closed than open, but this is soon to change.

Welcome to Ski Central!   

The ski and snowboard season is off and running. By the looks of this week’s cold, snowmaking weather, it should be a good one.
