A couple of weekends ago, two of my girlfriends and I had a ski weekend at Windham. It was that weekend when there was supposed to be a big snow storm, but of course it missed where we were and stayed south, so no fresh snow for us.

We stayed at cute little hotel that had an indoor hot tub and pool. After a long day of skiing, there is nothing better than a hot tub. We skied for two days. The first day we were just getting used to east coast icy conditions. We started off with some green trails and moved on to harder ones.

The weather was frigid. We had all of our layers on and heaters in our gloves and boots. I had to wear two scarves! Any piece of exposed skin burned when the wind hit it. It was difficult to keep your face covered.

The mountain was crowded and the conditions were icy, but we had a blast just the same. As we got more comfortable with the cold and the conditions, we were shooshing past the others. At 4 pm when the lift closed, we headed back to the hotel for some time in the hot tub and then dinner.

We picked a local restaurant called Horton House or something because Carrie was craving steak. It was a cozy, woodsy place with a big fireplace. We sat near the fire place and enjoyed the locals. Larissa got a photo of a man in a red checkered shirt and overalls. Another man in his 70s or 80s grabbed his wife to dance to "Mony Mony" that was being played by a live band of men in their 60s. It was quite a sight!!

We skied on Sunday and then piled into Larissa's Outback to head back home. It was an excellent weekend.

Having trouble with Blogger tonight. Photos to come!
