It’s going to be an extended ski season this year! Thursday will mark the departure for Winter Park Colorado! For a while, it looked like we’d be a little light on snow for the spring bump runs but lately, the temps have dipped and they’ve gotten some snow. It looks like it is supposed to warm up just in time for our arrival out there. It will be a King of Prussia Ski Club trip; one of many they’ve had this year and my first major trip with the club.
A few people from the Elk Mountain house this past winter will be heading out there on the trip also. Unfortuneately, due to the economic conditions a number of people had to bail along the way, however it seems that most of those vacant spots have been filled.
It’ll be bumps all day every day out there. I’ve heard a lot about Mary Jane so we’ll be riding her hard all day, just as she would have liked. With the outrageous price of lift tickets these days, it’ll probably cost more to ride her today than it did the miners back in the day. We’ll see how the bumps have help up over the years and hope they are still nice and soft and supple!
