Dean’s party was fun, but we decided to leave in time to get to the Berkshires not to late. We ended up arriving around 12:30. The roads were SO bad I had to actually do the SPEED LIMIT! Ok, only a couple of time. We cruised up to West Hartford and grabbed the rest of her snow gear. The trip up was not bad at all. Ok, it was snowy, icy, and slippery, but there was not a lot of traffic. We decided at the last minute where to stay and it has worked out just fine. They have a hot tub, and after a day of skiing, a hot tub is nice!
Skiing was GREAT!!! The best powder day that these people have seen in years! There was 18 inches of powder in some places! I forgot my ski poles so I borrowed two from the “were dropped last year” rack. They just asked that I bring them back. Nice.
After skiing we decided to grab a meal. We asked around and found out that we wanted to go to Mohawk Park. After we managed to get out of the parking lot…. it took a bit of rocking of the car. We struck off in search of the restaurant. I though it was to the left so we decided to go right. We pulled in to a gas station and turned around. There was still 6 inches of snow everywhere. We found the place and it was not crowded. There were about 6 locals hanging around and us. There was one pool table with 5 people playing. Marlo was making comments. We ordered food and one of the guys came over and introduced himself to us. We ended up playing some pool and eating some good food. A few people came and went, but we ended up playing pool with Al and Jessie. We were hanging out playin pool, havin some beer. All and all a really good time. Al started talking about sno-mobileing and Marlo got all excited. She had never been before. I had only been a couple of time. Al has a year-round place right in Mohawk park, walking distance to the bar, and they invited us to come over a take a ride on his sleds! They were so nice!!! He and I bombed around, Marlo and I and He a Jess bombed around, Marlo and Jess bombed around and finally Al and I bombed around, made some new trails and bombed around some more! It was a BLAST!!! These were great people. We went back to the bar and hung out some more and talked about happy people. We are happy people. They are happy people and we are all livin life! They invited us back up again to stay at their place and I think that will have to take them up on it!!! Marlo invited them up to the lake house and I hope that they come!
Thanks Al and Jess for a great time!
They we took a very very nice hot tub, watched some TV (Blogged) and went to bed…
The weather looks like it should be nice in the morning. We plan to ski and then drive the 3:33 hour drive to Kennebunk. That we will stay the day and night and then take off for points south. We need to firm up those plans…
