Let the Games begin

It was great to have some of the group together this past weekend.  Looks as though the first weekend in January that EVERYONE, will be up at the Bear River Lodge together.

This past Sunday was a bit cold but Dave, Bridget, Lisa and I found some good runs of the North Peak Chair early in the afternoon. Nate's outfit from circa 1993 was pretty inspiring and prompted the idea of a throwback ski gear party by Mr. Murdoch.

Monday had spring skiing like conditions.  Monday Morning's Race Course was the trail of the day with Obsession coming in a close second. Though the warm weather loosened up Sundays icy trails it was a little worrisome leaving the mountain hearing the evident dripping sound everywhere you turned.  Thankfully a few days later the River got a half a foot of fresh stuff...

First Tracks of the Season

Hey everyone. Just wanted to let you all know that Bridget and I went up to the house this week and everything looks great.  We skied about 10 runs on Tuesday at Sunday River.  The coverage on the mountain is good and it was nice to get back on the skis and get some turns in.  Bear river Lodge is wonderful and we're going to have a great time this winter.  We put together a list of some things we thought would be good to have at the BRL.  Comment back if you have any of these already or can pick them up:

Paper Towels, Toilet Paper, Trash Bags, Sugar, Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate. Games (Board or Electronic), DVDs, Hand Soap, Dish Soap, Hooks for Fence next to Hot Tub, Boombox or Speakers with AUX hookup for MPR player, Shoe Mat, Linens (if you want your own), Plastic Drawers (to keep some clothes at the house), Fleece Blankets, Jacuzzi Cleaner, Snow Shovel, Table Salt, Peanut Butter, Jelly, Fluff, Ketchup, Mayo, Mustard, Relish, Maple Syrup, Butter, Clothes Rack or Coat Rack for drying wet gear...

I know Cathy and Dave already picked a few of these things up. We'll be back up on the 13th for likely the last time in December.  Hopefully most if not all of us can be up there that weekend. There is a combination box with a key in it at the house.  I will be making extra copies of the key for each of us...
