This requires a bit of a preface....
My boss and I were at a conference at Foxwoods (about 1 hour away) From Wed to Friday...we brought our wives with us. Saturday afternoon, my wife and I went to a 7PM Redsox game (about 2 hours away) with our work 401k plan rep. The game got out around 10? All I know is I had my wife drive home.?
? At this point, I didn't think we'd be going Sunday. She works some extra hours on the weekend...and on the way home, found out she only had one patient Sunday AM. "Let's go skiing after I get out of work!" Who am I to argue.
We left CT around 9AM, got to Mt Snow around 11. Weather was calling for partly cloudy, it was sunny.?
? I wore shorts under my ski pants and a t-shirt under a wind breaker. There were people who were skiing/boarding in shorts and t-shirts up there. Conditions were typical warm spring skiing...mashed potato snow! The new skis did awesome in the snow. Again, very impressed. My wife really found her edges and started to carve a lot of her turns. I was very impressed with how much she improved this year and carving was just icing on the cake. It was really really cool to see her get a little better every time we went out. What a difference from when we fist went out and she was still renting back in January. And most importantly, she has a blast whenever we go out skiing.
The weather was great, so we took a ton of pics...close to 60 in all. I won't post them all, it would melt your computer.?
Mt Snow had built a smaller terrain park when they closed the Carinthia section for the season. My wife was cool enough to take some pics of me jumping.
All in all, a great day! Lunch on the chair, water breaks on the side of the trails, plenty of sun. We could not have asked for anything more. An amazing end to an awesome season....

Melissa stopping:
If you look closely, you can see the sculpture of the mountain lion on top of the rocks. This is on one of the backroads we take out of VT.
Here's the temp heading home...somewhere near the VT/Mass border. We had the A/C on for a bit too:
