9-5 No More

Welcome to the Sugarloaf Outdoor Center, we are CLOSED!  It was great while it lasted.  Luckily there was a lot of snow early, because there has been none of late.  The people here are what really makes the job.  Matt, Cyndy, the Robbins clan, the Lopes clan, Rose, Deb, Bill, Jodi, the Carltons, Joe, Greg, Scott, Wayne, Kali - everybody.  While we all grieve of the passing of the season, and the erosion of our snow, we say "see you later" to many faces we don't want to have to.  But, like the birds, we migrate and begin anew... again.  Bittersweet.  Satisfying and empty at the same time.  If the weather forecast were different, we'd stay and recreate in the snow more, but I think the meteorological outlook will push us west in search of powder fields and groomed tracks in Utah and Banff.  Utah first because we have some free skiing.  Then Banff because, well, why not?  It's all on the way to Washington, isn't it?!  Anyway, there are many people we will truly miss listed above.  We plan to see them again, though.  Thank you so much. You always have a place wherever we are!  ~Wm
