Weather was perfect for March 7th – no wind –
soft snow – low 40s – spectacular view. We are thinking “SNOW”. |

this? Bill Warren & Will

Ski conditions at Sugarloaf on Wednesday –March 5 – Lifts were closed due to the winds. If you wanted to ski
you had to take a Cat to the T-bar and ride the T-Bar to the top. The
following illustrates that process. First they load us in the CAT – made by Bombardier… |
|
|
|
|
|
Success – we made up to the bottom of the T-Bar. About a twenty
minute ride straight up the mountain. We are unloading the skis and heading
for the lift. |
|
|
|
This picture was taken while I was riding
the T-Bar. You can see the rope that is attached to the Tee that is pulling
me up the mountain. |
|
So you doubt I was on the T-Bar. Here I am in all my
winter glory – I am riding the T-Bar, holding the camera in my left hand and
taking my picture. This is a trick I learned skiing with Erin in Colorado –
except -- Erin used a movie camera. |
