Spring Weather is always a moment-to-moment guess

March 5, 2026, 1:23 p.m.

Spring conditions and weather patterns can change at a moment's notice. Thus, so does the status of our trips. Spring school team sports also affect our participation, and our current situation is a mixture of both. I am monitoring Alpine's website to see what they plan to do, along with our sign-ups, to determine which bus routes will be available for our Saturday, 7 March trip.  You can also monitor Alpine here: https://www.alpinevalleyresort.com/hours-2/  Currently, they are closed today and tomorrow, with a cautionary prediction for the weekend. But for the moment, sign-up is still open.
