It’s that time of year again; when you tell your family and friends you’re going skiing, only to have them look at you as if you just grew a snow snake out of your neck.

Then, the snow started to fall. Consistently. As Basecamp podcast host Mike Specian put it, “It was a heavy sigh of relief to the ski industry….It was better than a sigh of relief.”
