Does an early winter signals a great ski season?

Winter has now been with us since October 23, with snow on the ground, wintry windy weather and a rough transition after a colorful, beautiful and warm Fall season. 

Hard to get used to that brutal downshifting, even the aspen leaves still try to hang on desperately! The local ski area has begun making snow and more of the white-fluffy stuff in the upcoming forecast. 

So the logical questions now are “Will it last?” and “Will it be a great, snowy winter?” Of course no one knows for sure, we can only hope and like the saying goes “One bird in the hand is better than two in the bush”. 

I am cautiously optimistic thinking we deserve it when in fact we never deserve anything. 

For the moment, my dearest hope is for the Democrats to win the upcoming mid-term elections, thanks to the retrograde Supreme Court decision to roll-back the right to abortion. 

If one can sink the ultra-conservative, this one will!
