Not only did we all show up, but we even had our own HH impersonator! (Alex reports that the uniform is very comfortable, but for some reason he kept telling us to tip more..)

We were a bit worried that there would be rain, but Mother Nature must have heard our concerns, because she held off on the rain and instead supplied us with more classic New England conditions--the firm kind, with a light breeze, occasional piles of frozen granular, and what Alex informed me are called "chickenheads". Due to the rather firm conditions, we stayed on the groomed stuff, and were happy to have gotten a few runs from the summit before they closed the lift for the day due to wind, which was apparently gusting to around 60mph. As hearty Northeasterners, we mostly just noticed that we had to pole and skate to go downhill.
Sadly, my attempts at getting a good photo of a lift-top gaggle of 20 or so skiers leaning into the wind with edges set and poles planted didn't come out well, so feel free to be skeptical of my description above. In fact, if you're considering attending next year, please assume I made this up to conceal the MASSIVE POWDER HARVEST we had and didn't want to share. I guess the only way for you to find out the truth is to show up next year, eh?
