Last chance for spring skiing at Greek Peak
VIRGIL, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Despite temperatures reaching the lower 70's today, people were still out skiing at Greek Peak.
The ski resort in Virgil is in its last days of Spring skiing, with skiers and boarders taking the opportunity to go down the mountain in shorts and T-shirts.
The Spring season caps a stellar year for Greek Peak, which was able to build a large base thanks to consistent cold temperatures this winter and regular snowfall.
About 20 trails remain open with a base ranging from 12 to 33 inches.
Marketing Director Jon Spaulding says it's been an epic year with 102 days of skiing so far.
'With the forecast and some of the events that we have coming through the end of the year, you're probably looking at 108 to 110 for this season which is 9 or 10 days more than last. You really can't ask for better than that. You hit that 100 mark and it's all gravy,' Spaulding said.
Greek Peak has two more events planned before it closes for the season. This weekend, Shred The Night, a 24 hour ski-a-thon will take place from 8:30 a.m. Saturday to 8:30 a.m. Sunday to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Then on March 29, the end-of-the-year pond skim event. Season passes for next year are currently on sale for $635.
They go up to $799 on April 1st.

High Surf Advisory for south shores
HONOLULU (KHON2) – A stable, light to moderate trade wind flow will continue through Sunday. The trades will remain down from the past few days as the pressure gradient south of broad North Pacific surface high pressure stays relaxed due to a front far north of Hawaii. Aside from areas of thin high clouds, an upper-level trough parked over the region will have little effect. Diffuse bands of moisture moving along the trade wind flow will focus modest rainfall along windward slopes, and a band passing through late tonight and Sunday will mainly affect Kauai and Oahu. Aside from afternoon showers on the Big Island and Kauai, leeward areas should remain rather dry. Subtle changes are expected Monday and Tuesday. The above mentioned upper-level trough will deepen west of the state and induce a surface trough several hundred miles northwest of Kauai. The current south southwest (200 degree) swell will bring large breaking surf to all south facing shores through the day Sunday, then gradually decline early next week. A High Surf Advisory is in effect for south facing shores through 6 PM HST Sunday. No other significant south swell sources expected through the remainder of next week.

Warmup on the way, with a few southern storms in the mix
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) – Happy Sunday, Utah! Summer vibes are settling in across Utah as high pressure builds in, continuing a warming trend that's set to carry us through early in the week. Daytime highs are on the rise, expect upper 80s to low 90s across most valleys, and close to 100° down in St. George this afternoon. We're still hanging onto just enough leftover moisture to spark a few isolated afternoon showers and storms, especially across southern Utah. These will be hit-or-miss and mostly short-lived, fading quickly once the sun goes down. Monday looks similar, though a weak disturbance could bring gusty outflow winds with any southern mountain storms. Looking ahead to midweek, moisture starts to creep back in thanks to a passing weather system. Storm chances pick up a bit across the higher terrain on Tuesday, and northern Utah could see a slight chance on Wednesday as that system brushes by. It's not looking like much for the valleys at this point, mainly cloudy cover and a slight chance of an isolated storm. By the end of the week, another disturbance could stir up more activity, but the details are still hazy. One thing's for sure… the heat is on, and we're heading into a stretch where fire weather could become a concern, especially in southwest Utah as winds ramp up throughout the week. Stay tuned.
