May 1: Woke up to 2-3" of cream cheese. Heading out for a quick skinner, should be 4" at the summit. Got the bartending gig full time at Spruce Peak lodge. Free Stowe season pass, club privileges, 12 free nights at any Hyatt, full bennies. Livin' the dream.....yeah, VT sux.

FAAAAAAAHK that. Spidey senses never lie. Timing in life is everything. Every restaurant and bar up here closed up permanently or temporarily, and the few that stayed open were sucking wind and still are. Everything is pretty much closed down now until May up here which is typical when Smuggs stops spinning the lifts. Got an interview at Spruce Peak Lodge for a bartending job on Thursday. If I like it and the cash is good I'll get a snowmobile for the winter and ride through the notch to work! Pretty stoked on that! Gonna try to work at both resorts for free skiing on both sides of the mountains!

I'm ramping up to install a new deck. Doing it in blue stone. I'm done with pressure treated or composite. Everything up here either rots or rusts within 10 years. Did some googling and found this cool system to install the stone. PVC heavy duty grates, roll a rubber mat over it and place the stone on top. Hardest part is leveling the joists so there's no stone wobble. Piers got delivered last week, lumber gets delivered next week. Ordered it early because I don't see lumber prices coming down in the near future. Most likely going even higher.

It is when you get another 7" so far today and it's still snowing. It's be worth the extra time driving this weekend! There was 6" on the ground when I got back from Stowe around 4 today and another 1-2" fell since then.

St. Patty's day was Lederhosen day. A buddy of mine wore a kilt. Tailgated with Bratwurst and pork belly sammies.

Smuggs shmoo fest has a few more lift service days remaining before the bull wheels go silent this saturday. It was going to end Sunday, but there's rain in the forecast, so Saturday it is. I've been going out early afternoon for 5-6 laps in the sun, shorts and sans helmet. Bike season begins..have a great summer PASR!

Solid season up here, a later start and unusual because: It snowed a lot in January and ,not unusual, a good part of February. We didn't have roller coaster temps, for the most part it maintained in the teens and 20's, a few single digits, but no rain or torch weather. That pattern did not allow for the normal freeze/thaw to build up a solid uber hardpack foundation, so when it warmed up and got sunny it cooked the snow on both sides and melted very quickly. April Fool's Day today brought another 5-6" of pow for some endless tracks T2B. Hardly anyone on the hill, upper lot was barely 1/4 filled.

First time I loaded something on You tube. You didn't miss much, but I unlocked the settings so it should open.

Moar goodness on tap today. Powder in the shade, cream cheez in da sun, 45 degrees, blue sky, Doobies and Double Galaxies in the fanny pack. Didn't work enough quarters for UE, so I'm crushing it trading the volatility, rebuilding my deck, and extremely grateful I didn't pull the trigger on the pizza shop or a bar. I do miss being behind the bar, but not so much lately.
