Mad, Mad, Mad River on St. Patrick's Day Ski Day

The ultimate ski day blog kinda day - Sunny, warm, lotsa snow
and if you wore green...it was only $17 !



I missed those skier only Bump lines you get at Mad River










It was my first trip to Mad River this year and
Nick and Jake were first time evers. I think they
were impressed. (and completely beat up as well after 12,000 vertical feet of soft bumps)





When I told Nick on the ride up that we'd be lucky to get in 6 runs
he couldn't believe it. So when we (I) barely made it down Paradise for the
second time and the sixth run I knew I was done and it was time for a late
lunch in General Stark's Pub. As you can see it wasn't without some
spectacular wipeouts thruout the day...

Killington / take 2 with Nick Ski Day

What a difference a little SUN makes. Nick & I made the Sunday run to Killinton on the last 2 $50 lift tickets.



Killington got over 4 feet of snow the prior week and it was holding up quite nicely.





Bear Mountain got us off to a warm start. We had to take our coats off after a couple of runs. Devils Den is one of the best glades on the mountain.








But after a few runs we made our way to the top and over to the north side of the mountain. The conditions from one side to the other was amazing. We were back in the powder snow and had some amazing runs, especially on Dipper!







And then we met this guy at the end of the day....who the heck knows what he was up to?
