Well, in your guys' defense that was the second to last, or maybe the last run of the day down Chute. We were all just cruising it at that point.

I stayed up till 2AM waiting for the trip report from you guys!

Great reports! Looking forward to hopefully meet up this winter!

Great vid - thanks, Greg! But ... a .mpg format that won't open in Quicktime? I watched it with a different player, but it makes me wonder what's going on in that file.

In any case ... Oy, my form!

I've got a few shots worth posting; I'll get them up this afternoon, right now I'm going to take a quick 20-mile bike ride while the sun's high.

One comment I'll add about Mt. Snow, though. The summit food options were not up to par compared to other places I've been, namely Sunday River (North Peak) or Sugarloaf (Bullwinkles). The mini pizzas looked good, as did the chili and soup, and the hot dog I had wasn't bad, but they really need a grill turning out burgers and a vat of fries.

Yeah - I noticed it not working in Quicktime. I had to "Save as..." to get it to work in WMP. Probably the converter I used. I just Googled "video conversions" and used one of the first ones I found. I need to find a good video editing app.

About the food. Just early season options, I'd imagine. Almost $13 for a turkey wrap, chips and a drink...

I hope to meet up with some of you this winter .. you need a boarder in to round things out and I am pretty big and round so I am just the guy to do it

I have found skiers think twice before running into me

Okay. So I played around with the built-in Windows Movie Maker which has a fair amount of features (certainly good enough for a newbie like me) for a few hours tonight. I put together a little compilation video of the pics and vids we got yesterday:

ski_resort_observer · Nov 27, 2006, 12:16 AM

Wow, that was the first video you have put together? How long did it take you? It was fun to watch!
