Ryan and I were up pretty early making breakfast and getting ready to head over to the mountain. The nice thing about having two cars is that we don't have to all be on the same schedule. And it's nice that it's about a four-minute drive to the resort. We put our gear on at the car and took the shuttle up to the ticket office and then we hopped on the lift.

It was a cold but nice day. The trails were all pretty good, and we didn't see many lines until after lunch. Even then it was mostly just people congregating and getting in the way rather than actually being in a line that we had to wait for. We did a couple of races down a trail called Kickapoo. Some of the turns were a little icy so that made it fun. Other than that we did a good selection of black and blue trails and called it a day after about five hours.

We came back to the cabin and hung out for a while, waiting for the others to come back. Once they did, Ryan and I went down to Scranton to get dinner at Damon's. After a filling meal and a couple of beer samples (Sam Adam's Cold Snap, and Susquehanna Toboggan; both very good) we headed back for the night. Ryan turned in early and I stayed out with the rest of the gang drinking a bottle of wine and talking for a few hours. Sometimes that's the best part of the ski trip.
