the day: january 19. partly sunny and warming up--somewhere in the twenties, probably. no wind down in the woods, but we could hear it howling up on the ridge. and i mean howling, every time we stopped moving, skip mentioned it, "oh wow, listen to that roar!" monday's wet snow is now dry and at least 6" deep on a solid base.
the adventure: we have been trying to ski all the local areas, one a day, in order of their likelihood of getting traffic. today was "secret sherbie" day. it's up off the wolfeboro road and highly unlikely to get skied. i have taken a few students up the main road to the south peak of moose mountain. so far skip, pam, and i are the only winter travelers on the sherbie. it's a 1/2 mile~ish from the height of land back down to the road, with two steeper parts divided by a flat~ish middle.
the memories: as skip says, it was "the best skiing ever!" the sun popping in and out didn't affect snow conditions, but our smiles improved the brighter it was.
it looks like a totally different day when the sun is shining. as we were about to take a second run, skip snapped another picture of an extra happy skier. my camera battery was dead.
notes: great coverage
- charge up a new camera battery
- we need one more storm to cover the rock i tried launching off
- skip highly recommends skiing down low in the woods when it's super windy up high
go outside and play!
