Checking in again with some video footage from the 28th and 29th of January up at Sugarloaf, ME. A chronic lack of snow continues to plague New England, but Sugarloaf allegedly pulled down 8-10 inches on the 27th, so we made the 3.5 hour drive after work. The snow reports were more or less accurate, but unfortunately, some freezing rain followed the snow, effectively ruining anything off piste. We made an effort to explore a few areas, but generally were met with some pretty heavy junk to push through.
The weather was great though - blue bird skies - and Darren's slopeside condo was pretty spectacular. A couple of issues continue to plague my videos, however. For example, when I jump off something, it looks like I am jumping about 6 inches. I swear to God, there is one clip in this video where I make a 3+ foot drop followed immediately by a 6+ foot drop look pretty good, but you would never know it from watching.
Anyway - at the end of the day, we all have needs. For the guys on this trip, we felt the need to ski, so we headed up and we had a pretty damn good time despite the iffy conditions.
Enjoy the flick (especially the last scene, which stars the one and only Gene Connolly)
