The weather at that time can be bitterly cold to moderate. Last season we skied in -5 weather. Typically, its 5-10 in the AM, warming up to the low 20's. I hate to sweat and get hot so I always take two jackets

Ron:  That's an interesting approach.? I just have an light weight fleece (Marker, not Bogner :) ) that comes in and out of the backpack as an extra layer when necessary.? Have never needed a jacket swap.

While I like the thought of all the powder, this east coast bred skier sometimes finds herself on her ass, oops, can one use those words here? However, I am generally willing to throw my body down many a slope and hope for the best!

Midwif:? I think I can identify with your modest description of your skiing!? It sounds a lot like me, but no you can't use that word here.? Shame on you.? ?;D? Remember, however, that unless you are a member of ski patrol there's no negative associated with falling; it just means that you are still willing to push it a little bit.

All:? I do like the idea of getting in early skiing before the "local" January February season begins.? I'll usually take another trip mid to late March.? IF this becomes an annual RealSkiers event, I'll come and tag along next year (but you all have to wait for me at the bottom of the slope to catch up).
