Three years ago Todd and Clint started an awesome Super Bowl tradition: skiing. It started out fairly serendipitously - we wanted to do a ski trip and we tried to find a weekend everyone was free. Super Bowl weekend is a weird American institution; nearly everyone knows when it is and either throws a party or goes to one. We were in the weird middle ground where we didn't really care either way about the Super Bowl, but now we do and it's because we look forward to a ski trip every year.
This year we chose Killington as our mountain which is conveniently located near the Long Trail Brewery. They have a nice operation there with good food and interesting beers. The have a self guided "tour" where you can stare at their equipment. Sadly they don't fill growlers - evidently it is a different license that they don't own. On the first night I decided to do something that we'd done on the first trip, which was to chase people around and take mug shots, then make a slide show with an info slide per person and add pictures from the rest of the trip. It's fun because the group on this trip is a mix of Todd's family and friends, Clint's friends and Sofia's and my friends and family. Consequently there were people on the first trip that had never met each other, but the group on this trip is a great group and I really look forward to seeing everyone.
Here we are bundled up and ready to go out on the mountain.
The view was amazing from just about everywhere on this huge mountain.
Here Esteban and I take a short break from our morning runs.
And in the afternoon we managed to catch up with Sofia and some others.
Just about everyone managed to stay awake for the Super Bowl this year. Congratulations, all!
On Monday we packed up all our stuff and headed home. Dakota kept trying to escape from the picture and explore.
Here we are in front of the cabin on our last day.
