The equipment is being stored for the summer.

The parking lots are empty.

The snow is melting off of the trails.

But our field sure is quiet again for some great romping.

So we switched from watching skiers to sniffing for crawly rodents in our field.

Congratulations to Cataloochee Ski on its 50th season.  We are proud of our neighbor and the great skiing they offer every year.  See you in November!

  5. Oh, look at all that beautiful melting away snow! It’s a beautiful sight! Sorry Herd, but enough is enough!

  6. We had fun doing all that sniffing for the past week, and now today we have SNOW!!! It won’t last long, but we sure are going to enjoy it today.

  7. You realize that Mom is crying, right? ;-) (Actually, as warm as it has been here, Mom and Dad haven’t been skiing for the last few days because the snow has been “awful” – they are old racers, and apparently mushy snow doesn’t make them happy…) Actually, that’s pretty cool your resort stayed open so long – is this late for them?

    Enjoy your new-found peacefulness! (And mud.)

  14. Go get those rodents! I always think that ski areas look kind of sad after they close… It’s a leftover from my skiing days.
