There wasn't much snow, and it rained most of the day, but being back at Sugarloaf (my family's favorite ski destination while we were living in NB) still felt great. I skied all our old favorites: Narrow Gauge, Tote Road, Gondi Line, White Nitro and Ramdown.
One of my best childhood memories is chasing my dad down Narrow Gauge - after he told me not to - with my ski tips chattering, my helmet pulled back, wind-induced tears streaming down my face, totally out of control and scared to death but loving every minute of it. And especially loving it when I'd stop right beside him at the bottom and he'd look at me, only half suprised, smiling and shaking his head, no doubt glad that my mother wasn't watching.
