I'm sitting in the Air Canada VIP Lounge in Vancouver. My United flight goes out in an hour. Sadly, they have the fridge with the alcohol in it locked up. I'm sitting in First Class so the free booze is delayed for an hour.

Watching the lights of a couple of cats working the park on Mineshaft at Mount Snow. Getting ready to put on my chef's hat and see what I'll turn the assortment of leftovers I brought with with me to VT into for dinner :)

Back from a great day of skiing @ Titus Mtnwith my grandson , son in law and bro in law . We skied for 7 hrs all 27 trails were open and in wonderful shape . We were worried that teh torential downpours of Christmas Eve had screwed the mtn up but the crew and a 5 inch snowfall Christmas nite did a great job .

I did have one pretty hairy fall at warp speed on a steep section and hit a few small branches that had blown down that were hidden just under a lip on a small headwall .There had been 60 mph gusts the evening before and on some trails this detritis was over a few of the trails


I didn't see it till too late .

it was my 25th run of the day so was ripping but was kinda zoned out and not really focused . I literally blew outta the binding went outt over the front end like a damn bullet ,hit my left shoulder at speed but luckily it was on the steep so i just slid nicely to an ultimate stop . We Skied for another 4 ruuns then called it a day

Altho it was a potentially bad scenario i was and remain fine . I hadn't biffed in several years so it was a surprise but yet as some of you know a fall can be a learning experience in a good sense . Had a great day skiing with grandson #2 he has become a very good little skier and can stay with us.

Tired but mellow good night !!

falling from time to time is a good thing. your body needs to remember how to fall right or you get hurt. once or twice a season i practice self arresting.

Been sitting on the couch, looking up at the mountain procrastinating going up for 4 hours now. Probably going to scratch today, wait and see what tomorrow brings. Maybe go out and get a good meal tonight to brighten up my vacation.
