Great day skiing with my Dad Peter Pelland at Bolton Valley today.

His legs burned out faster than mine, we poached a couple runs. Powder and packed power everywhere. Launched the 10 foot cliff off Vista Glades twice, lost both skies both times (need to tighten up those DIN settings!). Peter Skied Devil's Playground which is some hardcore <><> woods, real steep, conditions were great. Proud of my father. Today was a blessing.

Awesome good for you guys make memories !

My absolute favorite thing to do is to ski with my sons and two college aged grandboyz, our posse skis about 3- 4 days a yr road trips !

There were many "closed" trails at Bolton that IMO were totally ready to go. Poached TNT (closed, no reason why) and poached Adam's Solitude. No reason for any of those trails to be closed. Talked to ski patrol prior and they said "go for it, let us know how it is if you see us later".

Hey but at least we got first tracks on fresh pow. My Dad worries about ducking closed lines; but I'm a good convincer

Several yard sales today but it was a blast.

Wilderness chair never opened all day... "Not enough snow up there"

Are you kidding me?

Nice TR. The real question is if your Dad skied Tuna Speed or not?

And it sounds like you've worn out your bindings if they are ejecting you after mad air.

I need to tighten up those DIN settings. Definately.

Dad, Tuna Speed? Not even close. But he can hang.
