Resort: Mount Snow
Conditions: Frozory, 1-2 inches of new snow on top with flurries
Report: So today wasn't about the actual skiing, but more of a momentous occasion! So we left the flat lands of Acton Mass, to head up to Snow today. The reason why I picked snow, is I had my 6 year old in the car and I wanted him to get out on the magic carpet one more time this season. We arrived on the hill by 9, with first stopping off at Sports Oddesey to get the little guy booted up. He was rocking the K2's and Dalbello boots. So we made our way up to the clock tower, to get him an hour lesson and off with Jay the instructor he went.
Meanwhile ... i was able to take two runs, as the blue bird was running slower than usual (I think the wind had to do with it). After two nice crispy frozen runs with a little powder mixed in I made my way back to the discovery center. The little guy was rocking the magic carpet, and getting better at linking turns (not quite yet though!) I figured, since hell after the hour was up, and his begging he wanted to get up the discovery chair. Seeing the snow began to soften up, I figured fuck it! We're all in! A's last run for the season was off the chair lift, as he rode it like a pro!! Really proud of the little guy and basically it was a wonderful book end to my season at Snow this year. I still plan on hitting Wildcat next weekend and KTON in may. But this by far was the best!
Pictures!!
Is it April or Jan?
Looking good on Cascade!
A near the Magic Carpet:
And the happiest kid ever!!
