Oops, the date was actually Sunday 2/6.
All I've got to say is that having the right person to guide you around a mountain makes all the difference. A great THANKS to WWF-VT for patiently waiting for my arrival, and then proceeding to spend the day doing lots of natural stuff and a little mid-pitch glades. All I can say is that after four hours, my legs were burning. WWF is also quite skilled at avoiding lift lines, but after about 12:30 we had virtually no wait at any lift. Got to Castlerock for the first time; I'm glad WWF didn't tell me the color of the trails! The grooming or lack thereof on natural trails makes them infinitely more pleasant snow, but very bumped up from the 10" of fresh that night. It was a lot of leg burning bump runs, which really showed how out of shape I'm in.
WWF-VT skier extraordinaire and brilliant guide.
Later on, I spent a bit of time talking with Peggy Burke who runs the Sugarbush Resort Winter Adaptive Snowsports program. Very interesting and rewarding work they do. It's another piece of what I call the "fabric of skiing" - the breadth of things that give skiing life, meaning and happiness, all very different, but all share their love of the outdoors in the winter.
Next, on to Mad River Barn.
