Finding love isn’t always easy…especially when you’re 3 sweat-wicking layers and a helmet and goggles deep, completely unidentifiable, and only have a ~5 minute or so chairlift ride to make an impression.

What’s the state of the mountain this week you might ask? Snowy. Yes snowy. Again. For all the incredible snow we received in January (six feet!), February is starting off just as strong. We’ve already seen two feet of new snow since the calendar flipped months, with another potential big...
