Last night after dinner, Audrey and I packed up a headed off with a group of her friends to the Middlebury College Snow Bowl a short drive away from campus. Armed with snowshoes, our mission was to hike the bowl to a smallish cabin at the top. By the time we arrived it was snowing like a crazy Colorado blizzard. It wasn't too bad of a hike...I mean seriously...I am from Colorado...no big deal.
The cabin was very small, and very wooden. There was a wood burning stove in center and one of the doors was duct taped shut due to snow drafting in.
Oh wait...
Did I mentioned that Luke, a friend of Audrey's, hiked a pony keg up to this cabin?
Well he did. In fine style too.
Besides vulgar jokes, funny stories, and gargoyles...there was quite a lot of singing.
...
In the morning the storm had passed and the bowl was covered in a thick fog. I packed up and headed out early with some of Audrey's friends hoping I might be able to see Katya today (which didn't happen). The hike down was quiet.
It was like wading through the velvet sea.
...
A side note...over night there was also a bit of rain...which froze everything...and all of these east coast kids thought that the groomed (frozen ice) runs would make for good skiing today?
"Seriously" I thought?
...I mean...
again...
I
AM
from Colorado.
