  The folks at Boyne Mountain, Michigan have made a valiant effort to establish a new spring skiing tradition on what they're calling the Victor Glacier.Similar to Killington and Jay Peak in Vermont, Boyne intentionally buried the Victor trail with as much snow as they could to allow for a late closing date. Nearly every trail at Boyne is completely void of snow at this point in the year, but the Victor Glacier is standing tall with a thick base perfect for slushy May turns.The resort re

  If you'd asked me on Saturday if I thought Mt. Bachelor would get another pow day this season, I would have said "heck naw."But in an unprecedented turn of events, I was wrong.
