wish really not granted

Just the other day I said I was hoping for all the snow to miraculously melt this week. Well, that didn’t happen. In fact, it snowed nearly every day this week. A-Basin, a local resort that typically stays open into early June, just this week reported its deepest base snow depth since 2003 (105”)—in case you didn’t notice, it’s almost May. I tried running the trails on Wednesday and I was literally post-holing up to my hips every few steps. I felt like I was training in Siberia preparing to fight Ivan Drago.

Things looked promising this morning with no overnight snowfall and warm temperatures, but that quickly changed this afternoon.The bear has gone back into hibernation.
