Free lift ticket if you wore a costume. I went with my old standby "Deadliest Catch." (I did leave the fillet knife in the car and wear only the empty sheath, though)

The boys and I didn't get on the chair until around 1 p.m.; we weren't well prepared for the getaway and we had no power at home. Timing wound up being perfect - reports were of very icy surface in the a.m. but T2 softened nicely in the sun by the time we got there. Sun went behind mountain clouds for close to an hour but then re-emerged before things firmed up. Got in a half-dozen nice spring-like runs amid a fairly light crowd. I did one run down Upper Sunday Punch but that never softened as much. It was possible to pick your way on natural cover most of the way to Barker lodge but we opted not to try that and downloaded instead.

Funny thing was, I met a commercial fisherman in the middle of T2, a guy who spends a week at a time on Georges Bank.

You're timing was good, everything did get a lot better after noon. Pretty icy before that and many people did leave, that's okay though springish conditions for the rest of us on T2 for the afternoon!

Great Halloween outing
