Date(s) Skied: March 21, 2009
Resort or Ski Area: Burke Mountain Ski Area, Vermont
Conditions: FG/VC
Weather Report: Sunny skies, lows in the teens and highs only making it to 35 or so...not enough to soften the snow higher up on the mountain.
Trip Report: Well, I had a ticket burning in my pocket and wanted to ski with the Dawn Patrol. It was a fun outing with the usual suspects showing up.
The Original Trailboss found himself on the top of the starting area on the Dippers:
"Whoa sh^& look at all the people!"
Though he did share that molehill with one of the "Brothers Scott."
Those people were the crew. We did Dippers and found them firm and fast. The same was true for Carriage Road and Powderhorn, which we did next. We hit Dippers once more:
Before hitting Powderhorn. Some folks braved the hike to Mountain Marsh and found decent conditions. We did ski Upper Bear Den to Willoughby, and Lower Willoughby, as well as a run down Willoughby to McHarg's, which was decent.
No crowds to speak of, except those gathering to watch Big Air.
We did a run down Shoot/Bear Den and Willoughby while KL and BD took a break. Regrettably, KL got run down by a Big Air Competitor, who deserved kudos for apologizing and taking the blame.
We did migrate back to the East Side and caught up with MK Squared:
And after one more run down Powderhorn, we pretty much called it quits.
Apres Ski Report:
Well, it was a nice afternoon to soak some rays, so we enjoyed the Big Air warmups and snacked:
Others posed in front of the mountain:
And some made a real mess with their peanuts. Hey, it's biodegradable.
There was a rumor that DS broke a record for number of Coronas consumed in one outing.
All in good fun....
