With 149 days on the mountain this season, almost all of which have been at Vail, Cesar Hermosillo knows how good the snow has been this year.
Wednesday was just another powder day — an April 20 powder day, that is — during a season that Hermosillo ranks as one of his best ever.
“My season has been phenomenal,” Hermosillo said. “Overall, it's been amazing.”
Hermosillo, 27, has lived here his whole life. He grew up in Minturn and said he can't remember snow like this since he was a little kid.
Amazing. Epic. Insane. Memorable. These are the words skiers and snowboarders used to describe the 2010-11 season on Wednesday.
