Date(s) Skied: Dec 7
Resort or Ski Area: Powder Ridge, Middlefield CT
Conditions: Well packed powder with only a little icyness in a couple places. They say 4, but really only two trails open, the beginner slope, and the main slope, with one lift for each, which were both fairly crowded, being opening day. Other trails had a fairly deep covering of powdery snow, but some plants were sticking up through them.
Trip Report: After being out boarding once before several years ago, I started off with a lesson, which was a great way to get started right. I fell down lot to start, but by the end of the afternoon I was feeling fairly surefooted on the bigger trail, which went smoothly, except for a couple very hard impacts when the downhill edge caught unexpectedly.
Now my entire body is very sore, but I look forward to returning to the slopes maybe as soon as tomorrow to resume the punishment.
