Spring skiing!

Saturday it was warm sunny and fun skiing! I tried to demo the Hellbents, but my boots wouldn't fit. So Sean demod the skis... then bought them... jealous much! I was, but I demod some smaller boots that afternoon so I could fit in Sean's new hellbent skis and it was incredible!!!!!!!!!! gonna order mine on Monday!

POWDER!!!!!!!!!!!


The weekend of the 12th-14 was crazy! I took work off on Friday and me and Courtney came up to ski 9 inches of fresh snow! Then skied with Sean on Saturday and my parents on Sunday. Was and awesome weekend and good to remember what it feels like to ski in deep snow!

We had our first true Spring Skiing day on Saturday, 40 degrees at the Mountain made the snow soft and slushy by afternoon!
