I heard White Pass opened this past weekend! And I'm sure Bluewood will open soon! I hate cold weather! But, I find if I dress for it and get out and do fun things in spite of the weather, I am happier because of it! I don't own skii's anymore and it's a spendy sport, but every time I take the plunge to rent and go skiing, I'm ALWAYS happy that I did!
