Snow in the 'Dacks

It’s been a hectic week, and we’re just wrapping up the Winter Sales Meeting. Pay-off comes tomorrow, though. Mount Baker opened today, and a good group from our office will be there testing on Friday. Looking forward to getting back out on the snow, and eager to remove the rust that’s always there on the first runs. Snowy dreams surely tonight, but until the sunrise, here’s a refreshing glimpse of winter from the Northeast comes from Karhu rep Mike Kaz today:

A classic afternoon tour up the Whiteface Mountain Toll Road in Wilmington, NY. On November 19th, my wife Jen and I started up late to descend by headlamp. We found great coverage and cold temperatures. A great way to start the season off, we were able to actually leave our headlamps off for most of the ski down as the almost full-moon was out.

We also ran into the "Wizard of the 'Dacks" Ron Konowitz skiing down as he was touring up. Always a character, we chatted for a bit before we headed down to have dinner at our favorite restaurant, The NoonMark Diner.

Things are off to a good start here... can't wait for more snow to put a base down for more skiing in the higher country come January and beyond!
