"No friends on a powder day" and as many found out yesterday, "No friends during first tracks." We had 4-5 runs to carve up the fresh corduroy before they unleashed the buffing general public so that's what we all did. You did the right thing choosing the trails you wanted to track out first.

Nick,

Great job setting up this trip! This was my first trip with the AZ skiers and riders and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thanks to the AZ members and the Sugarloaf staff for an awesome spread of free SWAG, free food, free drinks, free skiing, free first tracks and of course free laughs. The memories of this trip will hopefully get me through the warmer months and I very much look forward to the 2013 AZ Summit.

Thanks! btw - you have some seriously quick feet. We have to get a couple earlier season Wachusett days in next year. Wa-loaf, you too!

BTW, I have a bunch of video I still need to cut up. I'll try to post that later, probably won't be done until midweek. We had one great run on Sunday morning where there was about 15 of us all together cruising down Hayburner. It was awesome.

A little late to the reply party but, thanks so much to Nick for setting this up. It was great meeting all of you and putting faces with the screen-names. (I do think it's funny that, even after meeting people, we still refer to them in person by their handle rather than their name)

Nick, SkiStef, and VDK, skiing Friday with the three of you was great. The conditions, while not pristine, were enjoyable none-the-less. Sad I missed first tracks on Friday.

Thanks to all for a great weekend! As some have said, if this is it for the season, it couldn't have ended a better way. Looking forward to 2013!:snow:

Yeah, definitely, it is funny. I'm pretty sure I yelled "REEFER" and "DOUBLE EJECT" from the chairlift at one point.

Great time!

Great time as usual! Pleasure meeting and skiing with a lot of you AZers. Thanks Nick and Stef, along with Ethan from the Loaf for setting this up again. Skiing was quite good considering. Top to bottom anything is always fun, especially when you don't usually ski a lot of groomers. I scared the crap out of myself a few times, I'm to old for those high speed die-if-you-crash situations...........Hanging on the edges Saturday afternoon made it interesting until the rocks started to get dug up. First Tracks rocked as usual! Food and drink was great at the Widowmaker and especially the Shipyard Brew House. That place is awesome.
Great seeing Woodcore in the house representing Connecticut, I don't know what's wrong with the rest of you Nutmeg pussies.....................the Gunny bumps couldn't have been that good this weekend.............

Special shout out to the Ski Dr. at Summit Ski & Sport over in my neighborhood. Unbeleivable tune job that handled anything the Loaf could throw at me.................worth every penny, actually priceless on a weekend like that!
I have to start pulling out the camera more for these events. Below are TDog, JRskibum, and DoublEject at the Summit, defacing the tap, cord porn, slackers stopping for breakfast after first tracks - Nick, WA-Loaf, Marge, Cheese, Kelly001, and Deadhead.
