On April 16th, I picked up all my stuff and headed straight to Steph’s condo near Okemo.  Oh yes…fun times would be had.  Between rocking the t-shirt in 70 degree weather and teaching Steph how to change her oil, I got in about 15 hours of unbeatable skiing in.  This was all in preparation for Tuckerman’s Ravine on the 19th, one of the busiest days of the season.

We skied Okemo on Thursday and Killington on Friday.  Since American Skiing Company’s gone out of business, every ASC mountain is far nicer.  Ticket gouging still goes on, but the people are friendlier, the lodges are cleaner, and the lines are far shorter.  Mount Snow, another ASC mountain, was great this year, too, despite the crowds of flatlanders.

After a few hours at Coopers Cabin and a $5 footlong, I packed up all my gear and headed to North Conway.
