Sugarbush pond skimming pics 07

[ski_resort_observer]

Skied at Mellon in the morning then took the SBX over to LP, skied a couple of runs then joined the pond skimming party at the base for awhile, then back to Mellon to finish a great day.

Conditions at Mellon were excellent with 95% coverage. The trails on LP that got extra snowmaking skied very nicely as well.

People were having a pretty awful time at LP

Thanks, looks like a good turn out and a good time. But, what happened to the water near the end, looks like it went down quite a bit.

It was leaking bad, headed toward the new Hotel.

Looks to me as though the boarders fair better than the two-plankers. In fact, one of them actually got a couple of turns in.

First hand knowledge! It was cold in there! Now I am batting .500, so I owe Tin a beer. Email me when you are up next, Tin. Great turnout for Pond Skimming with 100 participants! (Thanks for capturing the moment, Lostone!)

Nice Work Win!

The hole that got punched in the pond was unfortunate as the water level dropped quickly when that happened.

Win, why are you carrying skis in hand?

Almost looks like a lurk:

I was trying to be too cute. I was dressed in the fatigues that we used for the 4th of July, and the ski I was carrying was the "rifle" that Hardy had as a prop in the parade. I was going to go a drill while skimming, but it obviously didn't work and thus the crash.

I imagine it's tough enough trying to skim across. You want to be cute and do a drill? Good one. :lol:

Just scanning over here and noticed the thread. Thought I'd post a link to my pix.

Talk about a couple days late and a couple of dollars short! :roll:

:lol:


:-D Great day! Great turnout! :-D
