Mess Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 This was my first trip to a mountain this year since I can't ski because of the ACL. I had bought a triple ticket and exchanged that to get my 4 year old a private lesson. It was awesome to watch my boy learning with his instructor Tracy. She did a great job. My wife and Father skied while we were getting my sons rental equipment. They said snow was pretty good and the mountain was empty since there was a fog and being midweek. It was hard to watch other ski and not be able to myself. Toughest part of the day was watching my wife and dad skiing with my son on the coolmoor beginner trail. They were trying to hold his hand and tried using a harness. I wanted them to let him loose. He started yelling stop to my wife so she would stop and he would fall. I asked him what he meant and he said, "I wanted her to stop turning, I only like to turn if something is in my way." Overall a good day but I can't wait until next season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) you ski on NGPs? jeeezus! Not my every day ski of course. They were amazing that day though until they beat my legs into oblivion. BTW heading to CB tonight (on the Greeners actually) with mini Ridge Racer. Sounds like conditions are still good.

RidgeRacer Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Very good conditions last night. The snowmaking is paying off. Had a great time. Used my freebie and got camel cards for me and my kid. We'll likely be back before the season ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mess Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 My wife is there now. Mountain is empty and she is having a good time. Here confidence is high and she is thinking about doing her first real black (Marjorie's Delight). She is bragging about being the best skier in the family this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutCold Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I was up all day yesterday. The conditions were spectacular. Hopefully they're able to hold out a few more weeks thanks to the recent snowmaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
