Where has all the powder gone?

Reports from the mountains: At Monarch Saturday, the snow along the sides of the runs was starting to look brown. (But the resort did a good job of keeping its race course clean for the VIBES ski-racing benefit.) At Ski Cooper Sunday, skiers skated on grooved ice. Is this the end of the season, just like that? Snow is in the forecast for Wednesday. If you don't want to put away your skis yet, you'd better hope for a really big storm to cover up all the nasty stuff. - Deb
