Snowy Day at Okemo

We went to Okemo today, and it snowed all day. We probably got a half foot of snow during the time we were there, and it made getting home a little stressful. But there were few people at the mountain, so we had great conditions with no crowds, which made it fun to ski some of the trails we have not been on much this season. J. skied most of the mid range trails today and given the conditions was handling them well. Some of the narrower ones like Jolly Green Giant are only worth doing on powdery days like today. We started around the Green Ridge triple, then went over to Solitude, back up to the top, and then had lunch at the peak, followed by a stop at the Loft afterwords.

Both driving back, and leaving the cabin, was tricky. There was a lot of snow on the road and we were lucky than we'd just put new tires on the car, and that the town plow truck did our road about 5 min before we had to leave.
