Easter in the snow

Why It’s Called “Spring”


By Shea Andersen, 3-27-06

I say, you can have your spring with your flowers and short-sleeved shirts. I'll take both, thank you: a Hawaiian shirt while skiing.

Today we sing the praises of a high and wild snowpack, one Idahoans haven't seen in a few years.

Today we thank the U.S. Forest Service for being nice to ski resort owners, whom we love only when the skiing is good.

Well, it's good: the Sun Valley Ski Resort and Brundage Mountain are both announcing extra days in their seasons this year.

You can thank Ullr later.
