Banadad Still Ski Able

The temperatures has been in the 40s even up 50 over the past week but the Banadad is still up for you to get in that last spring ski.   While the tracks on the Banadad have melted away. There is still plenty of snow throughout the
trail, with few if any bare spots. A couple of groups of skiers were on the trail yesterday and said the
skiing was fine.
