No hangovers (at least not in my cranium), but it was a lot of fun nevertheless.? ?
Can't really improve on Gary's report -- pretty much tells it all.
I had a great time with Gary and the guys.? They were all very welcoming, warm, engaging, generous, funny, quirky, and basically a lot of fun to be with.? Didn't take long to feel like part of the gang -- about five minutes, it seems.? Great bunch!
Gary unselfishly took time to teach me some stuff, and that was awesome -- really improved a couple of basic things, and I left a better skier than I arrived.? Awesome! Excellent teacher.? Thank you Gary.
Was delighted with the town -- Ellicottville is charming, unpretentious and friendly.? Pretty scenery in the area too.? And the hills were great -- nothing challenging, lots of variety and interesting trails and slopes, and tons of fun.? The excellent grooming made it possible to really work on some skills, and just let 'er rip when the mood hit (which was a lot!).? Will definitely bring the family there next year for a quick trip from Ontario (only 3 hours away - nice).
And yes, I did give Gary a little teensie weensie bit of espresso, but diluted with lots of hot milk (less caffiene that way, don't ya know?
).? My little experiment in spontaneous combustion...."Here Gary, drink this."? Put on helmet and goggles, plug ears, pinch eyes shut, crouch behind the desk.....and.....He
y! No Kaboom.....What the...? Why didn't he blow? Must be something wrong with the gunpowder.? Will try a double next time.? ?
