  • Skiing in day 1. The visiblility was not  great resulting in flat lighting conditions, so I snuck into the double-black diamond trees. Fun, but needed about another foot of snow to cover all the rocks.

  • Skiing back down towards the base at the end of day 1. The gondola is on the left. The top of the Cabriolet lift is between the buildings across the sidewalk from where the gondola starts.

  • The cabriolet lift, takes folks up from the parking lot to the base area where the ski lifts start. Sarah here is lusting after the red beetle gondola chair.

  • Making Tier Sur la Niege, or Maple Taffy on Snow. This guy comes out and pours some boiling maple syrup on the snow, and then 45 seconds later you roll it up on a popsicle stick.

  • Free ice skating. That's Sarah and Amalea standing by the fire. Sadly none of us had skates and it was brutally cold (8F).

  • It's blurry because the lights are headlights, but that's a deer resting on a square patch of grass. I suspect, given the shape of the grass, that it was artificially set to lure the deer so the sleigh ride operators could point it out each time.
