It's that time of year... Mad River Mountain has been making snow as much as possible this week and are ready to open for the season this afternoon at 1pm! I'd be down there already, but Cheryl's work Christmas party is tonight at the Navy Bistro. That said, we are leaving directly from there and heading south to my parent's house so I can hit the slopes first thing tomorrow morning. The Thompson family is getting together for Thanksgiving/Christmas in the afternoon, but I plan on getting back out to the snow Sunday morning before we have to head back north.
