bid goodbye until golf season

You just can't make this stuff up. It was another blue bird spring skiing day at Killington. Temperatures in the low 50's, 100% sunshine, no wind...just beautiful.

Today's festivities started with 3 laps on Superstar, which was groomed soft and sweet. We took an early run down Bitter Sweet. It has not been groomed so it was still crunchy. We followed up with a run down Skye Burst and Cruise Control. Both had soft snow with a consistency between vanilla ice cream and mashed potatoes. They were both a lot of fun pounding thru some nice soft bumps. We then hit the Glades and Snowdon areas. The Glades were still nicely firm (gave the legs a little rest). Snowdon was soft thru the middle, but a little wet at the bottom. To finish our day on ski's, we traversed across the top on Frost Line for one more run down Skye Lark and Bitter Sweet. A nice morning of skiing.

The phrase of the day was "Point them down hill", in honor of Billy Mac. He is one of the weekday regulars from the Snow Cats Ski Lodge in Mendon, and a former bartender at Birch Ridge, who put their ski's away for the season today. A small lunch was held in their honor at Sushi Yoshi. The Snow Cats are departing the winter scene at Killington because "There are boats to launch, and little white balls to chase" down south. But, the Snow Cats promised to reappear in late May to play golf in Killington on Memorial Day Weekend. In the mean time, we will just have to keep skiing in their absence.
