The Skimeister and I met up with friends Thursday night at Vermont's Bolton Valley Resort. We wanted to take in the ski resort's New Year's Eve festivities, which included a torchlight parade and fireworks.
The evening was rather warm and a pretty good crowd had gathered for night skiing. The tavern on the second floor of the base lodge was full of hungry and thirsty skiers and families. We were able to get a table and have a beer before the skiers schussed down the trail holding red flares -- looking like a bunch of red fireflies.
We ran outside to then watch the rather substantial fireworks display overhead. I think it had about three finales! By then our burgers and steak sandwiches had come out of the kitchen so we enjoyed a leisurely dinner with good company.
Happy New Year to all! I wish you many days of good skiing this year!
