I was a little nervous about this since there has not been much snow this year and I am sporting new skis and boots. I am not the most skillful skier in the world and if it is icy I tend to not do to well, so caution is the word for the day. I arrived at the ski area just before 9:00 am and after getting booted up I went into the lodge to get a lift ticket.  text/html 2009-03-02T08:15:25+01:00 http://skis-unlimited.com http://skis-unlimited.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=32 On Saturday February 28th we took our ski trip to Mt. Snow. We had 15 people signed up for the trip and many of them met me at the shop at 7:00am. I was planning on driving the Red Rocket with all the skis up to the mountain but the group wanted to go their own way so I rode up to Mt. Snow with Liam. It was a beautiful day with bright sunshine and 22 degrees when we pulled into the parking lot at Mt. Snow and it looked like it we would have a good day of skiing.  text/html 2009-02-23T21:13:21+01:00 http://skis-unlimited.com http://skis-unlimited.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31 I got a call from Grasshopper on Saturday and he said that he wanted to go snowboarding at Berkshire East with me. I told him that I would take him if he drove… and so the trip was on. G-Hizza met me at Denny’s at 8:00 (our usual breakfast with the Parrott’s on Sunday’s) and we headed for the hills. It was cloudy and not too cold when we got to Berkshire East and we quickly got our tickets and were on the lift by 8:35.  text/html 2009-02-16T08:05:29+01:00 http://skis-unlimited.com http://skis-unlimited.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30 It was a bright, sunny day and MaryEllen and I got up early to go to breakfast with Kate and Sophie (Stupid was sleeping in). I had planned on going up the Berkshire East to do a couple hours of skiing before the scheduled bike ride. We had a nice breakfast at Denny’s and then I drove up to the mountain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBVYd80eYtw text/html 2009-02-14T08:32:53+01:00 http://skis-unlimited.com http://skis-unlimited.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=29 It was a beautiful day on Friday the Thirteenth so Keith (Ingmar) and I decided to go up to Stratton Mountain for some skiing.  I drove up to Bernardston and left my van in the parking area and got into Ingmar’s car and he drove me up to the mountain. We arrived at the hill just before the lifts began operating. When we got to the ticket window Ingmar gave the ticket man the passes that he brought with him and he tried to explain why he was getting two tickets but the ticket man’s only response was “Sir, have you been drinking this morning?” I sort of backed away from the window and pretended not to know Ingmar.
