Darkest before dawn is what they say. And add to that a -6 degrees on the ol’ thermometer and you have a perfectly chilly morning. Yet, we’ve passed the 7 hours a day of daylight and with all our snow and crystal-cold readings, our mid to late day afternoons are magical. Let the spring skiing season EXPLODE!
