skiing in NY Day 1



This is Derek, (mikes son) and today I'm writing the blog. We had a great day of skiing at Gore Mountain. We were skeptical about how the conditions were going to be but our skepticism was soon taken away by great snow and great people to ski with.



The scenery was breathtaking. and it was clear with barely a cloud in the sky the temperature was amazing, slightly warm but not warm enough to melt the snow to bad.



Recently there was an ice storm at Gore and the birch trees were covered in over half an inch of ice. The snow banks were huge on the streets near both of my grandpas houses.
