Ski Day 23: Zelda called for a time out this weekend from the endless driving we've been doing. I'd resigned myself to the first weekend I had without skiing since mid-December. Then, James called me out in this very forum challenging me to ski somewhere other than Gore. The gauntlet had been thrown and the challenge was accepted.


The plan to hit Shawnee was abandoned when we realized how insane the holiday crowd would be. So it was back to Alpine Mountain for James and Claude, and a new experience for Neve and me. It was my first chance to ski the Pocs in many years. Alpine claims 500 verts, but we had a hard time seeing more than 350.

Conditions were a thin layer of corn on top of boilerplate. Neve who's really never skied much beyond fresh cord, noted that the snow was "bumpy." We skied maybe 10 runs in 3 hours, and it was really worth doing. Thanks James for callin' me out!
