Ski Day 32 was a big one for me.

After partying at the Ski Bowl and crashing at the cabin around midnight, I woke up at 4am and couldn't fall back asleep.

Had breakfast at Cafe Sarah and headed to Whiteface.

Whiteface is not that far from Gore. It's really a pretty quick ride up there.

I was not alone when I arrived. The River Lot was almost full and cars were lined all the way up the access road.

There was definitely a buzz in the air.

I met Aaron, Mike, HPD and Chris soon after. We took the Gondi and then the Summit Chair.

At the top we picked up Scotty and TJ.

It was snowing at a decent clip. We climbed up to the top of Slide 1, to find an avy class is session.

Employees from various eastern ski resorts were learning to dig pits and look for layers.

All the ingredients were in place for a big day: natural snow, big challenging terrain and some good skiers.

After Slides closed we found a few tree shots... a sweet warm down.

While not super fat, they were almost cheater easy fun, compared.
