Mt Snow 5-29-2010
We headed over early this afternoon to make a few runs today. It was awesome. My wife took pics while I skied. While waiting, she found an iPhone on the ground. Turned out it belonged to a photographer who was there. He was really thankful and took a few pics of me hitting the last jump. I'll try and post those when he uploads them; really nice guy. His site is www.RJEphoto.net He's out of NJ. The three of us were trying to figure out why people would rather go to the beach instead...

Jay Peak April 30
There are a whole bunch o' aspects of Jay Peak that just blow away Killington
#1: They are open
#2: The Tram Haus. The rooms are really nice. The only *cough* slopeside hotel *cough* at Killington is that hell hole Grand Summit with the cheap indoor-outdoor carpet, cheesey low end kitchenettes right out of Motel 6, and crappy furniture. The Tram Haus is comparable to slopside I've stayed at in Vail on expense report. Solid build quality. High end everything. You are right at...
