The End of an Era, The Beginning of a Season

On Wednesday night at 8:30PM an era had come to a close, my yellow mountain bike was sold to a Texan. Over the past three of four years me and my yellow bike have had many good rides, with good friends, all over the country. Over the years I have replaced nearly every part with a hand selected part, and she was just like I wanted her to be, but as with all good things they must come to an end. So goodbye yellow bike, you will be missed but never forgotten. I sent her off in style, check out the packing job!

On a brighter note I opened up the downhill ski season on Saturday at Mt. Snow in Vermont. I bought a student season pass this year, and it was a great deal, so when Mt. Snow opened on Saturday my friend Sean and I had to head up. Its about an hour or so away, so the drive was just like going up to Nubs Nob from the cottage. They had 5 top to bottom runs open, and an impressive amount of snow, more than I had anticipated. It was actually really cold and windy, but other than that it was a great day to be on the snow, and Mt. Snow seems like it will be a good place to have a season pass. I have been to Mt. Snow 4 times before, but that was on a bike, so seeing it covered with the white stuff was different, and going down was different than having to climb up, but it was most defiantly a welcome change!
