Wow, can't believe it's been well over a month since I last posted. I have a newmuch more portable lap top courtesy of work, so hopefully I'll be able to post more often.
So, Vermont. What more can I say - the skiing has been phenomonal over the past few weeks. The best skiing in a couple of years at least. And far better than the conditions out in CO the few times I've been. Every weekend I find myself saying - wow, best day this year, won't get better than this...but it does!
Today I skied with my best snowboarding friend Jill (aka Slydog), fellow patroller Hal, and snowboarding phenom Keith. We started out at Bear, headed over to Needles (Vertigo was amazing) and then headed toward the Canon for some fun runs down Big Dipper, Double Dipper, & Cascade, then back to Bear for a rather crusty run down Devil's Fiddle (should have skiied the trees instead!). The afternoon was a tree skiing dream - it snowed all afternoon and the trees were already filled with fluffy snow. Skiied so many trails haven't been skiiable for a couple of years. Skiing Ovation was like skiing on pillows - so amazing. So sad to have to come home and go back to the box tomorrow - I know it will be another dreamy day on the mountain again tomorrow. Ahh, there just isn't enough time in the day to ski every single one of my favorite trails, but, all in all, phenomonal day.
Hoping to get in some skate skiing at Weston Ski Track this week - that will require leaving work early, or actually just "on time". Also need to get in some trainer time - will need to dust the bike off - last time on the trainer (or doing anything other than ski) was Jan 9th. So much for improving my power/endurance on the bike. Oh well, there's always next winter.
Happy skiing everyone!
