I guess that wasn't a good idea

The LF and I decided to take the same week off as last year. This year the Pats were in the Superbowl and we all know how that turned out. That did not did not stop us from having a good time. This year Ashlee and Michaela came to visit, we played cards, trivia, cribbage and had special Patriots shots thanks to Dr. Laura.




Though this year the snow is not as plentiful as last year, the last couple of days on the mountain have been great. Last year we were quite spoiled. It has caused me to make some adjustments and set my expectations. Loon has created some amazing conditions with what they have and there is nothing like having the mountain to yourself on the week days, no lines and wide open trails.
I got a little cocky today and was trying some tricks. I also love when the Sun is behind me and I am boarding in front of my shadow. Today I tried to take some video with my iPhone and bit it. Hence the following video.


I cracked myself up watching it later.
The sun came out just at the right time today and we had some beautiful views from North Peak.








Not sure what was happening here.




We certainly earned our après ski beers today in the always sunny Bunyan Room.




We even got a bit of a show as this cute pup started herding in skiers and boarders as they were coming down the mountain. It was really cute and luckily the mountain was empty by then.




All in all a good start to vacation. We are making the trek up to Sunday River tomorrow to check out their conditions. Keeping our fingers crossed.
