12/23/2009: Christmas Eve Eve @ Wilmot

[RenegadeRick]

This is your last chance to hit the slopes before the holiday. I'm planning to spend Christmas Eve Eve, at Wilmot Mountain.
Come on up and join me for some snowy fun!

Dude!  I'll be busy celebrating the great feast of Festivus, otherwise I'd be all over it.

Rick- I'm heading back to Cascade on the 23rd and then staying at the Wilderness Resort so the kids can have some fun off the snow.  Meet us there?

Thanks for the invite, but I cannot join you. Looks like chances are good for you to get some freshies at Cascade.
Unfortunately, they aren't nearly as good at Wilmot

UKMikey, my buddy Scott and I played in the freezing rain until we were soaked through last night. Good times. Everything was coated with a thin layer of ice and we had to hang onto the chairlifts to keep from slipping off of them. Under the ice was a little fresh snow and some creativity yielded fresh turns. The snow on the lee side of the hill stayed nice and fresh and sure was fun to ride. Burgers at KC's afterward were delicious too.

The difference between riding singletrack in the rain and riding the snow is that while we left plenty of tracks, it was OK to do so.
