.........Today is that dreaded day for skiers and boarders in the Northwest. Despite a snowpack that was 150 percent of normal for March according to the National Weather Service, most of the state’s ski areas are calling it quits this afternoon.

“It comes down to supply and demand,” said Gwyn Howat of Mount Baker. “There’s plenty of snow, but mountain biking, gardening, golf, soccer, baseball and all those spring activities take business away.”
However, there is still some hope for those who aren’t ready for the season to end..........
