The weather and our schedules kept not lining up for a good day of spring skiing. I finally said the heck with it and took this Monday off work. Isaac was stuck going to school, so he couldn’t come skiing. Monday was a gorgeous sunny day. Overnight had been clear and below freezing, but by […]
We joined Darrell and Jed for Jed’s last time leading an AMC trip and the 1,001st trip he has led (or so he claims). It was intended as a beginner trip, so not very long. There was some confusion about whether to bring heavier skis for turns, or lighter skis for touring. We ended up […]
The NH AMC had our annual Telemark clinic. After last year’s terrifying crowds at Loon, we moved to Cannon Mountain this year. It was all man made snow, but wasn’t too icy. There were even some natural snow flurries. The problem was that the ski area was madly making snow to get ready for the […]
We got some natural snow, and enough cold weather for the ski areas to make snow. Saturday the whole family went to Pats Peak for lift serve skiing. They had their bunny hills and three real trails open. The surface snow was surprisingly decent in the morning. We did some technique practice, but our fun […]
The week we returned from skiing in Colorado, it rained, turned warm, and rained more. The pathetic New Hampshire winter was over. Everything below 2,000′ was brown. Rather than desperately scraping my skis on remnants of brown snow, I contented myself with having ended the season with the great skiing in Colorado. And then, winter […]
All good vacations come to an end. Friday we had to leave. First, we enjoyed another breakfast in the company of the other skiers. There was a new pair the previous night. We got to chatting with one of them. She had booked the hut last minute because the winds were too high to fly […]
This day was the reward for our hard work. Isaac had agreed to the whole notion of climbing back up a mountain solely so he could ski laps today.
The best part of Wednesday was the fresh cinnamon rolls when we arrived at the hut. Or maybe it was the panoramic view of mountain peaks when we crested the southern ridge of Mount Resolution.
The winter is a wonderful time to get out in the woods. We enjoy untracked snow in New England on cross country and Telemark skis.
