Mount Snow 4-2 through 4-3-2010

[Glenn]

It warm...really really warm! Temps in the 70's. Day 1(Friday) I was too warm in ski pants.

The snow was really mushy, but it skied fairly well. The steeper terrain was your friend.

Junction of Long John and Ridge:

By about noon, things were really really mushy. We met up with drjeff, vcunning and Beetlenut on the patio @ Cuzzins.

me, Beetlenut, vcunning and drjeff:

Me doing a GLADE-iator pose with my newly found ski pole. I steped on one of my poles on Ripcord and stapped the lower part right off.

Beetlenut and I took a few runs after lunch. We hit the Northface and skied some really really nice bumps. We ducked into the Trails and skied some trees. It was unreal to be skiing in the woods when it was that warm out. We did our final run down the bumps on Rollercoaster. We were both pretty beat after that run. Beetle, great to meet you and ski with ya!

As we were leaving, I had to take a pic of "The Beast" they had in the parking lot:

Not to be outdone, I had to put my broken ski pole up on our Wall of Fame back at the house:

Saturday I smartened up and wore shorts and a t-shirt. We skied some runs then watched some of the kids part of the GLADE-iator on Ripcord.

After hitting the ski shop, I spied part of our awesome sled from the previous week...I needed to pose for some pics:

We then met up with drjeff and mrs drjeff at the Winter Brewfest:

Me and Jeff:

After lunch and a few beers, Jeff and I went back to the tubing hill to rescue the fangun:

We brought it back to the Brewfest and plopped it next to our table.

It was a bit toasty out....3PMish:

vcunning and his wife were nice enough to have us over for dinner. I brought my skis and hiked the terrain park that's right outside their condo.

Nice TR there Glenn! For some reason ( :beer: ) my recollection of especially the later part of those days is a bit foggy :lol:

 

[Glenn]

I do recall you laughing really hard when I fell off the rail at Grommet. You can hear some of it on the vid Melissa took. :lol:

 

[Beetlenut]

Great pics Glen! My forearms just started peeling today from the burn (tan) I got that weekend. Good to get some runs in with you and meet the Mt. Snow crew. Have to do it again next season.

For sure Bill! Let me know when you'll be up and we can make some turns.

I still can't get over how sunny and warm it was that day.
