Cold Morning Session

It's been starting to warm up around here lately, but the front came through yesterday and brought some cold air and north winds. The wind was unusually calm this morning. Met Aaron down at Gilgo, not a soul in the parking lot; that's usually bad news even for cold days. A run up the dune revealed nice glassy conditions, but hardly any waves. The tide was rising fast. But I hadn't surfed since early December and Aaron hadn't been in since November... and we haven't surfed together since... October maybe.... DAMN! So in we went, which turned out to be a good decision; there's a nice little bar just west of the tunnel. Rights and lefts until we couldn't feel our hands and feet... it took a while to warm up.

Killington Powder

Last minute decision to ride up to Killington with SnowbirdsSkiTours. VT got pounded with snow on Friday, leaving 14 inches on the mountains. We arrived around 9 and were welcomed with falling snow, which continued to fall all day. I'm going to miss the winter; the cold, fresh air, the smell of wood burning stoves... winter storms...

Stratton Riding

Shot up to Stratton on Saturday... it was cold and snowing with good conditions on the mountain.

Grey Horse Tavern

Last week, I participated in art night at Grey Horse Tavern; displaying my matted and framed photos. It was a great night, having family and friends show up to enjoy the evening with.

Killington

The mountain is all-time. I haven't been back in about 5 years, and so I even forgot how it looked. The temperature was about 12 all day with wind chills in the -0's. Despite some awkwardly slow conditions at the base, the trails at snowdon and ramshead had some unbelievable powder! We'll see what happens with this upcoming system set to hit on Wednesday.

Winter Storm Warning

We are well into winter here in NY. It has been storm after storm; seems like there is a new one every week. I still feel like we are awaiting our worst storm, most seem to skip on by and dump inches upon inches up north. That very well could be what's on the way for next Tue/Wed... Last night we received an additional 3-4 inches of fresh powder. It's been a good winter so far...
