Me, the family and friends are going to Okemo for the day on sunday 2/20 if anyone else is interested maybe we can hook up somewhere along the way. If you see a Cheetah ski, Dachshund ski or one of my wood veneer skis, that will be our group bombing around. SKI ON!

It was freakin' cold and windy yesterday. After the first chair ride to the top of the mt, me and my buddy got frost bite on our cheeks. Wind-chill had to be -20F to -30F. That was the only exposed skin too. Wind gusts to 40mph. The wind blew all day. Some chair lifts were shut down in the morning because of high winds. It wasn't quite as bad as the day wore on.
Conditions were ok where the wind didn't blow off the snow. Sharp edges were a must!
My daughters got to try their skis I made:

After the pics were taken I put a hat on, skibuilders hat of course.
