Julie and I set out early Saturday morning for the last lift-serviced skiing of the year. With three resorts offering said service this weekend, we headed to Sunday River's sister resort, Sugarloaf. While the sky was gray and the threat of rain was constant, we met up with about 10 other Sunday River folks and enjoyed a fabulous day of soft turns with some sweet sounds being played live on the deck of the Base lodge. After checking into our room in Stratton, Julie and headed back to the mountain to The Bag, one of my favorite restaurants on the mountain. Normally it's so packed you can't see across the room, but there were only a few brave souls left.
Sunday started with lots of promise in the sky to the west. It looked as though it was lightening up after a night of fairly steady rain, but then on the second or so ride up the lift, the rain began to fall at a steady clip. The wind was ripping at the top of the quad, but the snow was awesome. Our numbers for day two were cut in half, but not the smiles. Nonetheless, after about a half-dozen runs, we threw in the towel as are clothes were soaked through. It would have been nice to have had some sun this weekend, but good friends and soft snow made it great! Next weekend with either be back at Sugarloaf if they turn a lift or at Sunday River hiking for turns.
TODAY WAS DAY 89, MY HIGHEST TOTAL EVER!!!!
