MLK Weekend Rocks

We loaded up our skis, boots and boards yesterday morning and headed over to Attitash/Bear Peak for a day of fun on the slopes. I was the only one out of the eight of us who forgot to bring her Powder Passport, which meant I had to shell out $65 for a full-day lift ticket instead of $49. Doh. Reminder: Go get thee a Powder Passport and save your money! Like me, you'll wish you had.

Even though I paid full-price, it was worth it. Really. The conditions were good. Not the best ever, but better than pretty good. This is Danger Boy's assessment. A little crunchy and icy in places, but hey this is New England after all, so it's something you've gotta get used to. We skied Bear Peak in the morning and headed over to Attitash for the afternoon. Between the two mountains, Bear Peak rules. Fewer skiers and boarders, shorter lines, and more snow on the trails because the hoards of boarders aren't there to scrape it all off. Sorry Smokey Bear & Tiny Boarder, I know that you don't do that.

Speaking of Smokey Bear, he had his helmet cam turned on the whole time to document every turn. While it's a cool idea in theory, the final video, punctuated with Smokey Bear's Darth Vader-like breathing, was more like Blair Witch Project on Skis than anything else. The only missing part was the 8 of us standing in a creepy abandoned house at the end, unless you consider our condo a "creepy" house, which you would if you find excessive Elvis paraphernalia a bit disturbing.

We do. But we're all here nonetheless enjoying a delicious batch of banana chocolate chip pancakes that Danger Boy whipped up for us this morning. Thank you, DB! We love you!
