Sunday River
Conditions soft Corn snow. Temps in the 50's and 60's Sunny
The Trip really started for us Sat afternoon. We headed across the Kanc Highway and drove past Tucks and wildcat. There was alot of smiling faces coming back to the cars.
We pulled into the Town and country inn www.townandcountryinn.com at about 4.30 and unpacked. The room was big and looked out onto the Androsocoggin golf course. The kids had to find the pool and the game room. Keeping the kids happy is the key to any trip. They were instantly happy . There was Steam room and a Hot Tub and Sauna, next to the deep Pool. I found the lounge and Dining area. There was something for everyone. The price was something I could afford also. The Mrs was happy too. I met people who were at Tucks 15 min away as well as Wildcat and I had just Left Loon on my way to Sunday River. So we all told how good our days had been. The Aura of spring Skiing is Amazing. I would highly suggest this place.
We went to play in the Park in Gorham Nh the kids loved the swings and climbing stuff gave then a chance to enjoy spring and not be on skies with me. :wink:
WE went back to the pool and swam a bit and called it an early night. We go up early and went for a swim the pool opened at 8am my kids were rested and happy to start the day I knew this was going to be an epic day.
I got on the Route 2 about ( 9ish 2 min Later Terry from our board called me and said are you at Sunday River yet. I made some lame excuses blamed the kids and Said i'll be there in 20 min meet us. Terry was more than willing...well Baker parking lot was full and only 1 ticket window open so I was way late. I left Terry a voice mail and We headed over to ski White Cap. We started out on Obsession. I'll tell you it had some snow . We had a blast. My kids were looking at White Heat on the ride up and they were Dad lets do that. Ya I smiled and was proud my day was complete already at 10.30. We all went down pretty well I might add. My daughter was singing away and my son was hooting and hollering and my wife wanted to know if I had a death wish.
We headed over to Baker to grab lunch my phone rang it was Terry again giving me a second chance to grab some runs. He took us over to Spruce Peak and we did American Express. Awesome!!!! He then said Risky Business is better. Well we gave it a go. He was right. We had to get ready to leave early 3 hour ride home and my wife had an evening event I said we have to go. My son said lets make Mom late. I agree and Terry joined us for a run on Monday Mourning. That was the best of the day. Just the most amazing soft wide open run. There was not slush no granular bumps just pure beauty. We had to go. My son said can we come back next weekend.
Everyone had a blast. Got to ski with an AZ buddy, My family had a great time. I did not get Sun Burn. Everything was right with Day 59 for Bob R My wife was late for her meeting and all was good.
