* Our 2025 ski season ended with us having 92 days on snow thanks to
our friends at Mountain Creek.
Pond Skimming was cancelled for the 1st time in memory because of a lack
of snow but
Mountain Creek hosted an end-of-year celebration for season pass holders
with free goodies, music and a raffle.
Peter took the
photo below of Buffy and John enjoying the celebration with Jimbo and John
Paulovich and Peter.
To get an idea of
our season Buffy kept an incomplete record of some of the days we skied on
her cell phone. They were:
594,450 vertical feet, 703 miles, 1,196 runs, and a daily
average of 47.5 miles. It was fun!
*
Day 91 on snow and the party continues with new friends on the Cab lifr. Looks like tomorrow, March 23rd will be the last day of
the season celebrated with Pond Skimming at Mountain Creek North Peak with
many of our ski and snowboarding buddies. Thanks to all our MC staff
friends for a GREAT ski season.
*
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Buffy and John kicked off the day
with their 86 day of skiing at Mountain Creed wearing their tams and Irish
shirts. They were greeted by the "Great Leprechaun" Tim Stone foa a
"soft" day on the slopes.
*
Friday, March 14th was Buffy's birthday which we celebrated at Mountain
Creek on the ski slopes with our ski buddies. We ended our 83 ski
day at MC South where Buffy was surprised to have our friend, Kink's chef
Chase provide Buffy with a free special birthday lunch prepared just for
her. We enjoyed the lunch on the deck. Chase and his staff
appeared to sing "Happy Birthday to Buffy. It was a wonderful day.

Heather and Dave Kahl's beautiful barn. Many friends from the past
at Hidden Valley Racing attended making the event that much more special.

Partying on the deck at MC South with friends Super G, Scott, Donnie &
daughter, continues following great day of skiing.

Today, March 1st on our 72nd day of skiing this season (witch matches our
total for last ski season) Buffy organized a pre-birthday celebration on
the deck at the South Mountain Creek Lodge that included many of our
friends we ski with everyday. Sunday is John's real birthday, March
2nd, and we hope to make it another great day on the slope for day 74.
And the Buffy cake was delicious. We are blessed!

Half the fun of skiing is the friends you meet and have fun with on the
snow and socializing on the deck of the lodge with an adult beverage or
two after a fun day of skiing. Today, January 6th was one of those
days - skiing with our ski buddies Ed and Kenny. Let the party
continue!
