Season draws to close







.... but going out with a flourish. A foot of new snow today April 1 and still dumping. Great powder day tomorrow and I don't start driving till 2. Brilliant.

M & I went out on our boards today, M with a new powder board she was demo - ing. She stayed on top of snow v much better than I did . I had a good few plough jobs - tip just dived . You need to keep weight on back foot rather like water skiing on mono board. Always blame the equipment where possible I say !

Just had a lovely visit from the Richards family from Surrey. Managed to lay on a powder day for them at Snowmass on Saturday. I think they slept well that night. With their friends Jimmy and Joyce from Pennsylvania , we got Jamie and Katie to top of Highlands Bowl. No trouble for them either up or down. Great conditions as pics demonstrate.
.
A couple of pics above too of Owl Creek trail to Buttermilk on X-country skis - bought in Scotland years ago . Still do the trick though . Fishscale soles and metal edges - unheard of here.

Off to Baton Rouge, Louisiana in just over a week and start cycling 2 weeks today April 15 en route to Savannah , GA

Hi folks - love the photos. Can't believe that's another season over. Hopefully we'll be out next year - can hardly wait! -Jane-
