There's adventure in these hills

What a nice weekend to be in the Valley! After a dreary, wet, and cold week -- with even some snow on the upper mountain -- it finally felt like spring as dawn broke on Saturday.

Looking at the volume of season pass sales that have come in for next year, it is good to know that you have not given up on winter. On November 1st -- less than six months away -- we will fire-up the snow guns (assuming that Mother Nature brings in the cold). While that may seem far away, we have a number of things for you to do in the meantime...

I remember a fellow classmate in school who was brilliant and always got depressed when he received a 98 on a test instead of the perfect score of 100. I guess I feel a bit like him right now, having skied only 98 days this year instead of 100, which is always my goal.
Putting the winter into perspective, however, I would have to say that despite one of the warmest and driest winters in memory, I had 98 days on the slopes and enjoyed each and every one of them.

We will definitely get in at least one more day of skiing and riding this weekend. On Saturday, our Valley House chair will run from 10 AM to 5 PM. Stein's and Coffee Run will be open. Midday we will assess conditions and see if we can open on Easter Sunday as well. 
Skiing on Stein's last weekend.

The "fat lady" has not sung yet but she is warming up. We had a nice weekend of skiing and riding -- on Saturday on Spring Fling and Stein's and on Sunday on Stein's. Both were freshly groomed. And we ran the Lincoln Limo on Saturday so that our guests could ski Spring Fling. 
Upper Snowball was just too bare on the "rock garden" to get down even on foot. Judging from the feedback of the few hundred people who were here, everyone really appreciated riding the Lincoln Limo and having the chance to enjoy a final day on the Fling. By 2:30 in the afternoon, however, the snow was just too soft and thin and rutty to keep the Limo running, so now we are down to Stein's unless we get a dump. Yesterday Stein's softened up around 11 AM and I had some nice soft turns for day 96.
So what would you expect a former Executive Vice President of Merrill Lynch to do when he retires? Lay low in the islands? Nope. He moves north and works seven days a week right here at Sugarbush. Check out what he's been thinking.
