Got an invite from a buddy I hadn't seen in awhile to ski Jack Frost with him and his 7yr old son. He purchased a ski house there, and buys Epic passes. Vail now owns Jack Frost and Big Boulder. Nice family hill, 600ft I think, McCauley it ain't, pretty flat. They managed to groom overnight, and...

With the ice encroaching, we decided it was time to head north where the chances of a pure snow event were greater. McCauley was the choice. About 5" at the base when we arrived at 9. It snowed all day, very small flakes with the occasional burst of a bit larger ones. Everything skied pretty...

It seems like a dream, running up to Snow Ridge regularly in December, yawning at a measly foot. It used to be a given. If Mother Nature wasn't delivering the goods to the Northeast, an eye on Turin's forecast, and a trip north would make all right with the world. Maybe there's something to this...
