shuffleboard is way cool man, don't knock it till you try it

as for golf, you have to do SOMETHING when the snow melts :wink: much as I WISH I lived someplace like CA or UT or CO where you can find patches of snow to play on until July/August lets face it, most of our snow is melted out by June. Which leaves July, August, September, and parts of October for me to go crazy unless I have some kind of distraction to keep me occupied.

Now don't even get me started about these people who take golf trips to Myrtle Beach/Arizona/Florida during the months of November-May.
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

I've tried it, twice. Once with my grandparents in Florida when I was 12, and once about 8 years ago on a cruise ship with Ms. Moose's dad, after dragging me up the gang plank kicking and screaming.

It's not June yet.

Yea, you're probably better off ... by the time your Jeep quits, you could probably get a used 4-door Rubicon and save a few.

Obviously if we get more snow it won't be the last weekend for many of us.

But with 60 degree temps for the rest of the week and r*in in the forcast for the end of next week, this might be the last weekend of reallly good snow and open terrain.

However if there is a May snowstorm.............

Superstar was my least favorite trail at K. Some nice snow in spots, but the amount of snowboarders that trail sees is unreal --- and they ruin the snow with their huge scraping turns. Superstar = Ice.
