Powder In New England?!
Hello, poor, neglected blog! Here’s a nifty little video I created from my mini ski trip up to New Hampshire and Vermont last week. The timing for this trip couldn’t have been better. Snow fell across much of the region for the 3 or 4 days prior to my trip, granting the rare New England treat of fresh powder. Killington, as usual, claimed the most with 59 inches of fresh white fluffies! As you can see in the video, I took advantage of the new snow by heading into the woods… a most enchanting experience when the world is made of white. All told, I enjoyed three days of glorious skiing with some terrific friends. Monday was Killington, VT. Tuesday was Bretton Woods, NH. Wednesday was Waterville Valley, NH.
Back here in CT, I found that by Friday it was already T-shirt weather! My crocuses are peeking out from the cadaverous ground of early spring. It’s amazing how quickly the context changes from spectacular winter wonderland to thoughts of golf… But I’ve got at least a couple of more skiing days left this year. Mammoth Mountain, California still has two days with my name on it later this month. And I’m in talks with Catamount Ski Area in Massachusetts for a big web site project; and I see at least a few comp runs after a visit there perhaps next week.

Awesome video! It’s good to see that the camera made it through safely. Oh, and you too Ken.

@Dan: yeah, holding a $4,000 camera in one hand, ski poles in the other, and skiing over moguls and between trees… glad the camera made it through safely too!
@Beck: not too many scenes like this in Cali, eh? glad you enjoyed. looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks!
