Awesome Ski Day

I realized I forgot my ski jacket just as I was about to head to the lodge to put on my ski boots. Tonight was not the ideal night to ski jacketless. A brisk breeze chilled me on each lift ride, especially near the summit where air rushes across the broad, flat summit of Bristol Mountain.

Depsite that minor inconvenience, I skied like a champ today. I got a good night's sleep last night, so I had a lot of energy. I had a great time, and the conditions were, once again, excellent.

First Day of the Season

I picked up my pass at Bristol's office, changed out of my work "gear" and into my ski gear, and hit the slopes for the first time this season.

The conditions were excellent. There was a snowstorm yesterday, so the trails that were open were well-covered, and in excellent condition. I skied Rocket first, which is Bristol's signature trail. I was a little erratic and out-of-control today, but I expected little else. All in all, an excellent ski day!
