Maybe it is "Hmm will I get (too much) shit if I go skiing on Sunday?"

I don't even think about the shit I could get. I enjoy skiing. They don't as much. So I go.

It is seasonal and full time employee driven. Seasonal employee have to be let go at a certain time and the full time employees move to get the warm weather attractions ready after the winter. The week extension will see management bumping chairs and JD will actually be out acing a liftie.

So ...... Not sure why I didn't do this before, however, I took a extended lunch today and headed to Cannon. Skied from 11:50 to 1 and I had a blast. The conditions were PERFECT! Although, from lift conversations, I heard things were frozen solid earlier in the day. I guess timing is everything, because evidently things softened up considerably to mid winter conditions at the summit and off Peabody and very soft off the front by the time I was there. Ended up skiing Profile->Middle Ravine->No Name Trail (across Gremlin and Rock garden)->Zoomer, then Back up and skied Upper Cannon->By Pass->Extension->Avalanche, then Middle Cannon->Rock Garden->Rocket and finished off with two runs off Zoomer Chair on Paulie's Folly and Garys (to complete the front). I was able to complete all of these runs in one hour flat. Nice thing about skiing alone - non stop ski on ski off. Conditions were playful and super fun. The bumps on skier's right on Zoomer were a little thick where untracked. Like I said - wish I would have done that earlier in the season.

That's a lot of skiing to fit into 10 minutes.

Nice, I thought the bumps on Zoomer were pretty good last wknd. Wish I worked closer and could go skiing on my lunch break!
