Another weekend, another trip. This time to Okemo. The weather took a decided turn for the worse over the past week. When we were at Stowe the week before the mountain hosts told us they were expecting rain and warm temps the next week. Well arriving at Okemo Saturday proved them right. Apparently it had been around 50º all week with it raining both Tuesday and Friday. Then Friday night it dropped below freezing over the whole mountain, leaving it at ~35º at the base and ~25º at the summit. It doesn’t take a meteorologist to figure out this means ice, and lots of it. Anything and everything was covered with a good half inch of solid ice. Somehow the conditions weren’t as bad as you might guess. Anything they groomed that night (or at least the part after everything froze) was actually OK. My only issue was I stepped on some loose snow that was covering sheet ice when trying to get to a lodge and fell pretty hard bruising my knee and elbow. It was also my first time snowboarding this season, so lots of different muscles were used, and are now sore. I had a great time, and took my new Leica with me over the full on Canon setup from the previous trips. It’s not a perfect camera, but it’s the best P&S I’ve been able to find.
