We spent the official Martin Luther King holiday skiing at Bromley, rather than our usual mountain. There had been a half foot of fresh snow the day before and we felt like trying something different. Bromley is south facing, unusual for most ski areas, and does not have as much snowmaking as Okemo, so I like to pick our spots to go there when the weather has been cooperative. A perfect day there is cold, sunny, and has recent snowfall. Because it is south facing, when it's sunny you get the remarkable combination of skiing with the sun shining on your face which is great. You also pick up solar gain which can warm you up as well.It was subfreezing and snowy although cloudy but these were still fantastic conditions. Every run was open and all lifts were running so we buzzed all over the mountain. J. wanted to start skiing some of the signature runs of this mountain so she went down the main run under the lift line (Twister) a few times. With the perfect snow conditions it was quite manageable for her; when it gets icy / bumpy I am happy to avoid it but the conditions on Monday were perfect. I took a few runs at high speed (for me) without stopping to get ready for next week.
Ending the day exhilarated and exhausted is the perfect last run.
