All yesterday, I was at Stratton Mtn in Vermont.
We were on the mountain at 9am, and got off around 3. Visibility was really low for most of the day, since most of the mountain was in a cloud. Most of the day was amazing, because the conditions were perfect. As the day went on, it got colder and things started to freeze. On the last run of the day, I couldn’t even dig an edge in, since the runs were almost entirely ice.
Super Bowl Sunday is always a great day to go boarding. Most people camp at home and watch the game, so the mountain is close to empty.
My friend Ali, who lives in Vermont, works at Stratton. I think she teaches snowboarding or something. That particular weekend, I believe she was out of town. Perhaps next time, you’ll see her.
