Kevin M. and I have our SENIORS SEASON PASSES. We were out and found good snow. Snow report says only a few cm forecast. Ideal (Spring) temps and all the groomers off Mystic Chair.


This trip is intended for all levels of skiers, boarders. We mainly rotate between those wishing to drive. CARPOOLERS WANTED. I make my way to Mystic and spend my time on the groomers.

  • Carpool location is flexible. Often Tuscany...also Sunnyside. Please arrive 5 minutes early. And please phone me or indicate in the 'Notes' section when registering, at which carpool location you'll be meeting us. We may agree on a different carpool location if there is just 2 or 3 attending.
  • There are microwaves and a boiling hot water spigot for complimentary use.
