Alarm went off at 4:35 a.m., in the car at 5 a.m., met Osgood and Darren at the Kohls just south of Concord, and then headed up 89. We made great time, pulled into the parking lot at about 8:15 a.m. and were on the slopes before 8:45.
Some funky lighting and fog out of the gate, and then it started to snow, picking up about 6 inches on the day after 4 feet in the previous week. Pretty much everything we skied had nice coverage, and one of the nice parts about Sugarbush is there is some nice side country to explore where there is almost always some untracked powder, especially after the nice storms we enjoyed this week. Great day on the whole, other than (1) when someone appeared to be impressed by my bump skiing before immediately showing me up (anyone know if Jeremy Bloom was in VT this past weekend?); and (2) when Darren referred to me as "Katie." That was weird. Oh, and the 7 hour drive back to Boston after the VT highway division forgot to send out the plows wasn't very cool either.
Anyway, enjoy a few pics. I am in possession of a go pro, but no SD card yet, so video will have to wait for another week or two.
More funky a.m. lighting and fog.
We found the pow. Its to the skier's left of Middle Earth. Not a Lord of the Rings reference.
Osgood doesn't like lines.
Castle Rock Double.
Darren doesn't like lines either. This was the worst one of the day. On the whole, the lines weren't too bad though.
Base area, aprox. 4:15 p.m. (oh yea, we ski all day).
Nothing wrong with working the groomer for the last run of the day.
