Moments before he blacked out from the schwack-out Pete pointed ’em one last time.

And finally Christian changed over to tour mode, and stoically led us back to the car.

As we arrived back at the car, the sun emerged brilliantly from behind the clouds just in time to shine in our eyes on the drive back to Vermont. Thanks for checking out FIS! Wax those boards, and let’s hope the warmup is short, and the winter strikes back with vengeance!

      ha. thanks for checking in… i hear what you’re saying… but i wonder if i didn’t choose words that were a bit too harsh in describing the day. I don’t think we were really brandishing our mettle that much.

      it really was a ton of fun, and we really did get some great turns in. they were just separated by a 200 vertical foot bushwack…

      anyway, let me put it this way: If I could do this exact same trip again today, I’d take it in a heartbeat. Beats this weather any day.

    Fun stuff. The Big Mtn is waking up… You just as easily could have ended up above the clouds and in the clear that day. We opted for a VT classic that afternoon… Super-fun crust cruising in effect now.
