Cannon Mountain: February 11, 2006 (Trailboss' Report on AlpineZone Ski Day!!)

Haha, now I bet Andy is wishing no one noticed his little helmet cam, it is in high demand!



Should be interesting, apparently there is footage of yours truly, rippin it up on the gnarly groomers. Don't everyone pass out at the sight of my grace and splendor.


Unfortunately there were no features of any kind conducive to me doing something stupid and having a spectacular crash.

Ah well, maybe at the southern outting. Will you be at that one Andy?

That was fun! Sorry about the late check in, my son Peter and I had to ski on Sunday morning before heading home. We hit the road at about noon, but by the time we got to Nashua the blizzard had closed in on us and we were in a total whiteout...that was after I managed to skid from left to right across every lane in the toll at the end of 93! We got a room at the Nashua Holiday Inn and came home the rest of the way yesterday.

Saturday was fun and very busy for us. We did get to hook up with the AZ crew a few times in the am, I skied mostly with Charlie and Elisa and had a great time with those 2. My son Peter got a bit cold, but he went to the Tram lodge and warmed up while we skied, then joined in again. Chilemass asked me if Peter had any other speed other than all out...nope!
He yardsaled on Profile so well that another skier came up to us and gave him an official "10" for the wipeout.

The afternoon was spent in the Brookside area with my whole family and especially young 3 1/2 year old James Jr. James loved Cannon and spent 2 1/2 hours on skis, his longest session yet. He is now able to glide to a stop alone and turns well to his left, not so good to the right. Soon he will be linking turns. My 11 year son David who is still recovering from the broken arm got back on skis without poles too. My wife Claudia really liked the beginner area set up at Brookside...it is well set up! She was out for 2 1/2 hours also and loved the place. We will be back.

By 3:45 I was wiped out tired and had to go back to the hotel. Sorry to all those like Steve who came for a few rounds Apres-ski. I was so tired I'd have been drooling if I had stayed. Next time!

Ow anyone watch Jim G ski. Time to take a lesson it appears. Wow. :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

Why thank you Bob! I think skiing with Dan D. the day before might have had something to do with it...that guy forces you to have quick feet!

I will make it a point to get up to the next AZ north meeting...I barely had time to say hello to alot of folks, but the folks I did meet (Charlie and Elisa, trailboss and his group, roark, Marc, Chilemass, Andyzee and Violetta, and you) are a bunch of great folks!

To those I missed (Zowi, Terry, Steve, anyone else), I'm the one who missed out and I'll make it a priority to meet you folks on my next trip up there.

That will probably be early next month.
