Gore Mtn, NY: 12/15/13

Ski Day 7: After the best breakfast sandwich ever Shaman and I arrived at Gore. Snowy, snowing and no wind.



Skiing was great.

I agreed with others who said the bottom was more fun.  Even after lunch you could find soft snow down the sides and right in front of you.

Normally it's hard to get up for the drive back to the flatlands, but this time I was so pumped, I just cranked the Tom Petty and the Dead and rocked all the way.

Woo hoo!

Looks like great coverage and tons o' fun. What a great start to your season!

But please, please, tell me that the double-poling telemarker in pic # 4 doesn't have have one of those newfangled "Turtle Shell" Bluetooth outdoor boom-boxes attached to his right ski tip. That would be a sure sign that the end times are nigh.

The things look like this:


Look at the guy's ski.

"Wait.... What?" "Sorry. Ear buds! "

Midwinter in December is the dream. Love the skis.

I skied with the gentleman in questions for over an hour and I can assure you there were no appurtenances on his skis.

X... my first time (successfully) skiing rocker on piste.  I am starting to get the hang of it.

It's a compromise worth making if there is untracked to be found.

That is a relief. But the day is coming....

I met the sales rep for the Turtle Shell products, he hangs one off his belt when he goes hiking, sharing his tunes with the world.
