You know that old song by the Rolling Stones? Well, that’s what was playing this morning when we entered the base lodge at Killington.
Yep, even though you can’t always get the conditions you might like, you can still ski. Which is what we did today, April 24, 2011. Hey, I’d never skied on Easter before. And even though I was sure I ended my season two weeks ago,I figured why not. We’d had a few inches of snow yesterday (albeit wet, heavy stuff). And I had some vouchers I’d neglected to use.
So with the temperature hovering around 50° this morning at 7 AM, we hauled out the rock skis and drove to mountain, determined to get in a few runs.
It didn’t look too promising outside the lodge:
But looking up at the hill was a bit more encouraging:
Unless, of course, you looked over here (yes, this was open):
Still, it was fun. The views from the top were still beautiful. After all, it is Vermont:
And I was plenty happy. It was Day #81 for me. We only skied eight runs. The temperature reached 60°, and it got pretty gloopy real fast. All the same, a great way to end my season!
Yep, those are Day Lilies coming up at my house. Spring is here!
Happy Easter, all!
