We finished our nine weeks of skiing by taking a trip to Pat's Peak with some friends. The snow wasn't the best. As my friend Winnie put it, "It's like skiing on mashed potatoes.". That's fine by me since it means winter is wrapping up and spring is on its way! The kids found it a little difficult to get any speed though. For Evelyn, my little speedster, this was quite tragic. As the day went on the conditions got better for them as more people compacted the slushy stuff. The boys spent most of the time on the double black diamonds and the girls spent the majority of the time wishing that they could do the same. After all was said and done we had a great time. Though the kids have deemed Crotched Mountain to still be the best. Now I can say, much to Quinn's lament, that I am DONE with skiing for another year. Bring on the heat!
