Marc, Michael and I teemed up to start the day with the Jim B. family and grandpa Denis joining us later in the AM. <BR> <BR>I picked up Marc and Michael in order to leave their vehicle for the Mrs. and headed out in rainy drizzle and almost snow coming down. We booted up at Kids Kampus that...

Saturday found Shirley, Shana and I meeting up with Marc and stepson Michael at the base of the gondi right on cue. Ain't radios wonderful. The weather was super cooperative and conditions were fairly good for Whiteface all things considered. As Marc said, everything was open except the top...

It takes a day like Saturday to appreciate Sunday. <BR> <BR>I was really intrigued to see what conditions higher up on Whiteface were like after getting skunked Saturday. After taking care of A.M. commitments I decided to get spontaneous and do something really wild and far out. I went...

Wow!!! What a fantastic day. Spring skiing doesn't get any better at <BR>Whiteface than it did today. Too bad this isn't 4/15 or so instead of 3/9. <BR>It's going fast and I get the feeling the fat lady is going to be singing <BR>real soon. <BR> <BR>I was almost tempted to journey over to Jay...

Shirley and I got there around 9:45 and had to park way out in the <BR>second lot at the entrance. The walk down helped to clear the cobwebs and <BR>loosen the legs to get ready for what would turn out to be another <BR>extraordinary ski day. <BR> <BR> Quite a difference 24 hrs made...

Daughter Shana and I headed out a little late to hopefully let it warm <BR>up a little but that never really seemed to develop as the day wore on. We <BR>had to park almost out to the main highway and even with the long walk we <BR>were ready to board a lift by 9:45. We wanted to take the...
