This past
weekend I took a trip down to mount snow with my good friend marc. I had been
to Mt Snow before but never enough to really appreciate it. This has all
changed as I decided to purchase a season pass. With a day ticket costing $90
and a season pass costing $360 it only made sense to buy the season pass.
Mount Snow
is home to Carinthia which is the first
and only all park mountain face on the east coast. Recently redesigned Carinthia
is home to 12 parks for all skill ability. The face features over 125 features,
a half pipe and a superpipe with 18 foot walls. Carinthia was the host for the
1st annual winter dew tour stop, redbull buttercup finals and the
Freeski Open. Their park system has been
on the receiving end of praise for its amazing conditions and adaptability to
these big name tours. It doesn’t matter if you’re a pro skier or a novice,
there is something for everyone to ride at Carinthia.
We hit the
road Saturday Afternoon for the 3 hour drive down to West Dover VT where we
were going to be staying. It was hard to sleep but when we woke up we immediately
headed to the mountain. This was my first time skiing as a season pass holder,
not much has changed besides the fact this is going to be my third home
mountain.
We started
off the day on the main face where we took some nice warm up laps to get our
legs back under us. This was my first day out for the season so my legs were
doomed either way. After shredding the main face we ventured on over to
Carinthia where the fun began.
The first
couple runs blew my mind, I could not believe how nice of a park setup they had
for just opening. As we were taking laps we ran into Aaron, Phil and Tyler and
we continued to take laps on the park.
The day
went on until it was closing time and all of our legs were beat. Carinthia had
drained me of all my energy. As we went home and reviewed the clips from the
day I couldn’t of been more stoked to have bought a season pass to Mt Snow. By
just spending a day there I was able to realize how much better I was going to
get this season. Carinthia is a perfect training ground and I’m so glad I bought
a season pass.
Nice project. You said you wanted to use an interactive map. That would have been a good addition. The video is good. The story needs stronger proofreading, but it's a good description of the day on the mountain.
