Day 34 - February 3, 2010

So today we headed up to Stratton - conditions were ok, a little icy, but not bad. TomTom took us the most cockamamie way this morning from Jiminy Peak to Stratton though! The roads were all twisty and turny, and there were a ton of frost heaves. I am lucky that my stomach survived the drive up! At the top of one of the lifts, there was a ton of ice from the melting snow, so even though it was rather foggy for most of the day, I was able to capture this shot since I was close enough. I think icicles are beautiful, and one of my favorite parts of winter! Especially on a sunny day when they reflect the light. Not so much today, but still pretty cool looking!

Until Tomorrow,

Day 33 - February 2, 2010

So if you look outside our condo at Jiminy Peak at night, this is what you see. I call it the Lightning Tree. It looks like a lightning bolt coming up from the ground. There are other birch trees around, but this is the only one we can see looking directly out the window. I think it's a pretty cool tree - and I love how it stands in contrast to all the other trees around it. I guess it's kinda like me - a little different than those around me! Anyways, tomorrow we head out to ride at Stratton which I have never been to! I am super excited, even though we're getting up super early in the morning.

Until Tomorrow,

Athina
