Gore Mountain, NY: 11/23/14

Ski Day 3: Decided on a late start to let temps warm up and maybe get some sun to soften surfaces.

Friday night I noticed that a huge widowmaker that had finally fallen near the cabin right onto the green trail. I filled the saw with my last few ounces of mix and noticed a leak... it was dripping out, so I had to make it happen quick. Got this dream about nordic xcd out the back door, and that tree was in my way.



Got er done in the nick. A quick wax for a warm, wetsnow day... using some leftover nordic wax...



...and off to Gore. It started gray at the base and nil-vis pea soup at the top of Bear.



Eventually the sun came out and temps moved into the 40s. Snow was getting very soft.


Sunway



We spent a few hours lapping Trail 51 and Ruby-Showcase-Sleighride.
