I went to Perfect North Slopes today with a buddy for some skiing (he was snowboarding). We got there around 1 or 1:30 and hit the slopes for about 6 1/2 hours. The slopes are very small compared to "real" mountains out west or in New England. I think they're only 300 or 400 feet tall, which isn't much more of an elevation change compared to some of my runs. But it's the best place around, it's only a 30 minute drive, and it's still a lot of fun.
Today was pretty nice, with temperatures around 49 until the sun set, then it dropped to freezing. This turned the melting top layer to ice, making it interesting later in the day. We hit a few slopes several times, and I fell about a dozen times. Mostly, I fell trying to avoid little kids that had fallen and were just laying in the way. But it was a lot of fun to get out and ski. I was lucky though, my falls were very soft. I did see my buddy take a pretty bad tumble though. I hope he can run tomorrow!
