The photo at the top of the page is thanks to Jeanie, a season pass holder for many! years. Last summer she moved to Burlington and she a Mike drove down yesterday for a ski with friends. Jeanie arrived at 1pm and skied all the trails. Nice to see old friends.

And below, two cuties eating their lunch, in the snow, smiling and laughing. They skied about 3 hours. Being flexible and figuring it out in COVID times. (The hardest part of their picnic was protecting their food from Ruby.)

And Dick showed up yesterday. NEW boots, his old boots were from 2002. Wow, the old boots had about 18,000 km on them. Dick said the skiing yesterday was unbelievable and after he skied he shoveled the Snow Goose. Even with 44 inches of snow, we need to move it around a little bit.
