It rained all night, into the morning, stopped for a few hours, then picked back up around noon. We tried to stick it out for a while. It wasn’t the fact that we were soaked to the bone, but the snow turned into slush at the top and ice at the bottom. It is just impossible to keep your stamina skiing in such thick snow. It quickly becomes just a venture to stay up on your skis and not topple over by losing an edge.
The rain and conditions meant an early day back in the hotel. It’s a lot more enjoyable to swim in a heated outdoor pool in the rain than ski in the rain. Throw in a little hot tub action and you almost forget about the weather.
What did not help the situation was the fact that the Bengals sucked today, so the New York Jets stole another win, putting them up against either New Orleans or Indianapolis.
BUT, for the first time since I’ve been here, I was able to enjoy an authentic Canadian craft brew at one of the restaurants in the village. Aptly named “The Brewhouse,” they offered four original brews: a Red, Pale, Lager, and an IPA, which I liked the most to my surprise. I usually don't like IPAs.
Good beer to wash away the rain, and a few prayers to the snow gods for better weather tomorrow.
