What? No pictures from 2002? That's right... unfortunately, the snow was so bad this late in the season (March 29th - April 1st), that we didn't even bother taking any pictures! We only went skiing once, and it was way too crusty and slushy. Not a trace of fresh powder. Next year, there's no way we're going this late, it's February of bust... |

Here are the pictures from our February 2000 Trip. This was our second trip here, but I don't have any pictures from the 1999 Trip. |
