ski season 2001/2002

What can be said about ski season except that it's always too short. That's Andy wailing on down the Mohawk trail in February. Nice form huh? He's much taller in real life. BIG SHOUT OUT TO ALL SKI BUDS WHO WE SHARED MAGICAL DAYS, GREAT CONDITIONS AND SUNNY WEATHER WITH! BroMark, Jack and Jesse who shared the air with the olympians in February; Sando Commando who staged a most triumphant comeback, provided safe transport in his spiffy Durango AND took these digital pictures; the Skipper too (Jaques); Scott who materialized for the first time in 30 years in excellent style; Jin Hee; Larry..."hey it turned out to be a pretty nice day after all!" and the Rowe family. ANOTHER BIG SHOUT OUT TO ALL SKI BUDS WHO WE MISSED THIS SEASON BUT LOOK FORWARD TO SPANKIN' THE PLANKS WITH NEXT SEASON: UrnZurn; JayBee and Mike who snuck in an eleventh hour Wasatch pilgrimage of which we're extremely jealous; Dino, Reido, Ray (ze men); Nacho and brother Andrew who hit the steeps of southern California in January; Bubs and the goose crew who rule Vermont; Francois (the Michaelangelo of my haircut) who rests his scissors on Thursdays to carve up the trails at Hunter.

This season Andy sported a new pair of Rossignol Vipers, K2 Jacket and crash helmet to protect what's in his skull. The lack of precipitation here in the east was a disappointment but thanks to the miracle of modern snowmaking the conditions were OUTSTANDING! Though we've gotta say goodbye for the summer... here's some links to keep you in the bumps in the off season:
