Ski Area Closing Day

It is closing day here at Angel Fire and we are exactly two days into spring. This means I started today with a spring ritual here in Angel Fire, washing the car. Washing the grime of winter off the car used to be a big task here, but not anymore, we now have a car wash. If you haven't been here all winter you might not know that a local businessman opened a car wash back in October. The car wash features one fully automatic bay and two manual bays. The best part is in the winter they have automatic doors that close so you don't have to freeze your you know what off. Another sign of progress here in our little village...

Ski Season ends today, one week earlier than planned. Warm temps forced the call, but we never do much biz the last week anyway, so most of the locals are loving the 60 degree temperatures. Only real gripes I heard were from my son and his friends. Their spring break started Friday and they had planned to spend the week boarding. I told him he could spend it raking, but he didn't care for that. Here is one last look at the slopes on closing day of the 2008/2009 season.
