May 2nd-Alpental Ski 1/2 day --12 Mile Tiger Mtn Bike

Hi Everyone,

What an awesome weekend. Spent Friday night a Spring-o-rama with the Royal Rangers (great organization).

(Updated) Alpental is still open for skiing. They had 126 inch base and 196 at the top-yes this May. Forget the rock skis, there are sections open that I couldn't ski last year throughout the whole year and now I can. No bare spots and awesome corn snow. The temp was 58 degrees and nice and warm. The costume contest had the Lesiure Suit comeback, cows, pirates, poncho toting thugs, even a waiter carrying a silver tray, martini glass, with the full tux. What a crazy day. Alpental is open next weekend as well. That would make 7 months of skiing.

Went up Tiger Mountain on my mountain bike. I had to turn around just shy of East Tiger summit due to 3 feet of snow on the road. For those who know this area, it is not that high and it is unusal to see snow in early March, let alone MAY!!!
