Boler Mountain/Byron Bump both spell challenge

As I have said in the past, the Byron neighbourhood ski hill is amazingly small. That said, it is also simply amazing. It has been a fairly warm winter with snowfalls few and far between. Still, neither warm weather during the day during the week or even rain has closed the hill for more than a day or two.

I understand that on nights when the humidity is low and the temperature below zero, the Boler Mountain ski hill can go through 30-million gallons of water to make snow. And it shows.

Yesterday was February 2nd or Groundhog Day and the voting is split on whether winter is going to end soon or hang in there. The fortune-telling groundhogs have delivered opposing views.

For the sake of my granddaughters, I'm hoping the Wiarton, Ontario, groundhog is right and winter is not going anywhere for some weeks. Skiing into early March is a safe bet according to Wiarton Willie.

Here winter seems safely established for the time being. A good small hill to get a taste of things.
