Sunapee Ski Day 12-30-2009

Marielle made her 09/10 season debut today and we had a great ski day. You'll see her ski review in the 2nd video. If it wasn't so cold you could see the smile on here face too. the fact that the sun was actually out was a huge bonus.

We got in 10 runs from noon to 4 (we didn't exactly rush to get there today, which was nice) and that was plenty. It got a bit 'scrapy' as the day went on but ICE doesn't phase Marielle in the least.

Sunapee was in great shape with a lot of snow being made, plenty of base, and the mountain will really come alive if the predicted snow really hits this weekend.

We did a bunch of photos with the Zi8 and a couple of videos. I am finding out this isn't the best 'action' camera. It's tough to keep the subject in the viewfinder when you are moving. Next comes music to get rid of the wind sounds.

Ski on the cheap factor: not so good, we paid full price but only bought 1/2 day tickets. It's tough to find deals on vacation week. I was reminded you can find tickets on Craig's List, we'll have to remember to have a look. Sunapee was fairly crowded - the lots was full but we found a great spot in the main lot. The hi-speed quad was packed, but all the other lifts had no lines whatsoever.
