[Mess]

Got to Mountain after stopping at 940 ski shop to get rentals for my 6 year old daughter.  My wife and son also went u for the day.  Arrived around 10:30.  Crowds were moderate and snow was awesome.  I spent most of the day teaching my daughter on Snowflake and Powder Puff while my wife and son hit the rest of the mountain.  I bought a wedgie to keep her skis from crossing and we started on the little hill at the top of snowflake.  It was awesome to see her go from struggling and not liking to ski to skiing a few blues and not wanting to leave at the end of the day.  The scariest part of being on the easier trails is the fear of someone going out of control and hitting my daughter since she weighs 40 lbs.  Saw a few big wipeouts when we made our way to Ridge Run.

 

When my daughter took a break i took a few runs with my son.  Lehigh was moguled up and as the day when on started to have some brown spots.  Challenge had some great snow and the glades were pretty good in fact most of the skiers on East mountain were in the glades.  River shot was pretty great except in the middle got icy since a lot of beginners were skiing and plowing the hero snow.

 

Last few trails were ridge run and Easy rider.  My daughter handled it better than many adults I have seen on it.  My son hit the glades in the area.

 

Awesome day and my wife said it was better snow than Vermont.

 

Season might be over but wouldn't mind getting 1 more in.  10 days this year which is a great season for me considering how bad the winter was until the past few weeks.
