1/12/12 - Jay Peak

The crew welcomed former housemate Marshall into the mix for a day filled with 3 to 4 inches of fresh snow. The crew included myself, Hoffman, Ryan, Marshall, Cleaver, Becca and Alex with a fairly gnarly encounter with  Cleaver's friend Jorgé after lunch. We began using the new GoPro camera and got some decent footage of the day. Until next time, pray the snow continues!

1/11/12 - Jay Peak

Jay finally has the majority of the mountain open, including the Tram. We started off on the Tram before messing around on the lifts to the skier's right side of the mountain. Brian and I ducked some ropes and jumped into the woods off of Deliverance for a little bit of untracked powder. With snow in the forecast for the following day we were more than excited to get back on the mountain the following morning.

1/5/12 - Butternut

And the first turns of the new year came at Butternut, nestled in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts. My friend Mike and I did some laps in the park before bombing around the rest of the mountain in the afternoon. Despite limited terrain we managed to have a good time while simultaneously showing off optimal steez appeal....til next time, pray for snow!

12/30/11 - Stowe

Temperatures stayed cold today and gray skies provided a bounty of ice to be slayed. The gang had a good day at Stowe despite the traffic on the slopes and icy conditions. We hot lapped the gondola in the morning before heading to Spruce Peak to mess around in the afternoon. After the most expensive lunch of my skiing life I have made a conscious decision to never eat at Stowe again...til next time, pray for snow!

12/29/11 - Sugarbush

Ahhhhh! The first powder turns of the season, what a feeling! Had a great day with Brian, Becca and her family at the Bush. Despite frigid temperatures we braved the cold all the way to the closing of the lifts. Hoffman and I had our first woods adventure of the year and we were able to enjoy a solid couple inches of fluff before it was skiied off in the afternoon. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come. Pray for snow!

Jay Peak - 12/17/11

Solid day skiing with the girls at Jay Peak. Messed around a lot on Haynes as only a couple of runs were open to ski. It was a Saturday so the runs had a bit of traffic but we got through it and all in all the day was a success. Until next time, pray for snow.

12/13/2011 Jay Peak

We finally got up to Jay to ski for the first time this season. Although conditions were far from Jay-like, it was great to be skiing even limited Jay terrain. Hoff and I hot lapped the Jet and Haynes, finding that over on Haynes there was a little bit more man made on the edges of the run with some baby features along the way. After about eight trails and a half gallon of beer we headed back to Burlington, eager for our next trip to Jay.
