it's pouring rain in LA today. when it rains in LA the storms come across the continent and pound the new england with snow. get your skis tuned and waxed cause it's going to be great for the steep and deep.
At least you were going "down" the roads. The wealthier kids would get heated up potatoes to carry in their pockets to keep their hands warm.fought valiantly for decades miles down dirt roads and country lanes manning wood stoves and lugging water for days and nights by candle light.
You are without a doubt, a pioneer, Will! Floridian retired to New Hampshire. And you obviously take our NE winters in stride.At least you were going "down" the roads. The wealthier kids would get heated up potatoes to carry in their pockets to keep their hands warm.
Not me, I was a Florida boy.
No snow, no hills, oranges instead of potatoes AND no shoes . I use to be able to stand in the middle of the street barefoot on a hot Summer day. No more.

No, that's it. While everyone else complains and wears a single pair of jeans and one jacket, when the first chill tints the days, those long johns go on. When it's below 20, I add a loose pair of hiking pants on the outside. I've usually got at least three layers on. No big deal. My wife can't understand that I'm not boiling when I go inside. She's the one who complains about the cold, not I. Oh yeah, a hat that covers your ears makes an enormous difference too.Besides learning how to dress yourself correctly, what's your secret?

My sister, on the right, was the person whom introduced me to skiing when I was about 14. That changed the trajectory of my life.
I wonder how many recognize this iconic mountain!
Bah ... ah ..ah nope! (that was a hint)Because it's a big mountain, and looks like the NE, I'll guess Killington (second guess Jay Peak)?
I'm stumped. Not Bolton Valley in VT (looks too big). ?Bah ... ah ..ah nope! (that was a hint)
But I'll play along, is that Skye Lark or Bittersweet that your photo is aimed at? Looks familiar.
Well, that does it, now I'm really taken off down memory lane!I cheated with google and the bars, Stowe!
