| Woodbury Ski Area - 11/8/2007 Don't go tonight! Funny details after dinner. Jan/Feb boilerplate in November. No skier traffic to break it up. Throw in the temps and lack of sun.... tonight is going to be rough.

| Disclaimer - I give Rod at Woodbury Ski area a lot of credit. Every year he pounds that little run and "opens" early. I knew what I was getting into when I went over there. I paid for the lift ticket. I arrived at Woodbury at 3:45. Snow was already melting. I paid for my lift ticket. The gentleman who helped me was genuinely nice as hell. So while he swipes my card he starts to look for a wire wicket for me. He had to put down his cigarette while he looked for it. Since the ticket machine was broken he hand wrote my lift ticket. I boot up and wait for the rope tow. 4:00, 4:10, 4:15... I say screw it and decide to earn my first turns of the season. After the 2 minute hike they crank up the rope tow. The view is kinda nice. The snow is like cement. I try to make my first turn and my edges don't bite. Glad to say I got my first wipe-out of the season out of the way. I rode the rope tow up, took one last run and headed for the parking lot. Channel 3 News was there doing some filming. Besides me there was 5 snowboarders. If he opened a bit earlier or there was more skier traffic to break up the cement it wouldn't have been bad. But it was... well.... bad....
