One of these days you'll have to bring your lovely wife and meet Vince in Colorado for Mother's Day.
There is normally a strong East Coast contingent.

Another great week in May at Arapahoe Basin. Consider going next year if you've never been. A special place that's small but can ski about as big as you want. You'll get hard snow to spring slush. Warm to cold often in the same day. Whiteout to bright, really bright, sun. We just missed the big dump of 2 feet. You never know who you'll see there. This year was the Chinese freestyle team for a few days and then Mikaela and Mom for a couple days. It's pretty cool to ski the same exact trail and conditions as the best in the world.

Thanks to @Philpug and @Tricia for the gathering and a plethora of demos; @Cgeib and Lgeib for a great place to stay; @SBrown, @SkiNurse for the house arrangements; @dean_spirito for the jumping lesson; @Bob Barnes for the neutral clinic and technique talk, @Drahtguy Kevin for the skiing and trash talk; @Gaby for Monday skiing, pizza and ride to Denver; @FairToMiddlin for the range instruction; @Mr.Vertical /GZ for the food and grilling; and everyone who showed up to make it a great week.

Went into Black Mountain Lodge looking for someone who wasn't there and ran into this song...

hah, yeah that's it. I think I fixed it now. The video using part of that disappeared when I closed google drive. Should be back now.

It is a special place. Haven't been out since 2010! Gotta fix that.

Nicely done, @James .
PS: Nice job on the bread too.

Yes, yes you do. We ski hard and have fun.

@James, simply awesome. Good times. Next year, man.

 

[Tricia]

Really great video. I especially love it that your bread made a special appearance.

In the beginning talk of getting stuff to make bread I was a bit perplexed, but all 4 loaves you made were devoured. Thanks for sharing your special treat with the ski house.
You're right, A-Basin is a special place with an amazing vibe. Thanks for being a part of the vibe!

If you can get me some canned O2, I'd be really happy!
