Very warm period coming. Glad I made it out to Okemo on Sunday!

Sunday was Okemo Sunday morning for Vt/Nh residence. $37 adult, $27 juniors. Not whats on the Web site. Pretty firm snow with some ice! Not sure what was going on, I only went to Okemo with Zach because of their Snow making and great grooming. New Six-pack chair was interesting. Heated seats & a visor. Had a good time with my son.

12-14-14 Sunday @ Sugarbush

Great day at Sugarbush.. I skied ripcord all day. They were blowing snow on the trail with 4" of fresh powder. All other black diamonds were bump up..
Still getting use to my new skis. Seems like I am stepping on the tails when in the bumps!

Killington 12-10-14 Great 1st day of skiing!

 Killington- Here is the skinny on the day.
13 of wet powder with a lite ice crust on top. almost everything was open. I skied trees, cascade, double dipper. but never made it to superstar, lift was closed until 1:00 pm. I made about 12 run and was whooped! Fun day on my new skis. The rossi souls did a great job in the powder (black diamond & blue), crud and groomed trail. I had a hard time on the untracked double black diamonds though. I'm chalking it up to the crust and having new skis and I didn't have my ski legs yet.
Here what they don't tell you!
Arrived at 9:00am Wednesday and pickup my $42.00 NH residence ski pass!- 1 lift spinning, all detachable s were iced over and could not run.
2 power surges shut the lift down for 15 minutes each time. They finally got the dipper chair running at 11:00 and the superstar chair started at 1:00. I'm not sure if the gondola ever ran.
All ski area had the same problems from what I read. not jay

How To Be A Skier

Okemo
has 228 acres of terrain open today! Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates recently purchased a 228-acre horse farm in Rancho Santa Fe, California. With 34 trails and 5 lifts, Okemo's 228 acres seem like a better option today. What do you think?

An inch of new snow overnight. 2 For 1 today. Two can ski and ride all day for only $59.
