It was great on the ski slopes this afternoon. Cold, but not as bad as I'd feared because the sun took the edge off (and I was wearing my new, warm snowpants). The snow was good - consistent and quite zippy.
I took my lesson as usual, and our class took the opportunity to do a new (to us) run. For the first time in two years the left-side of the mountain was open for skiing, so our instructor took us down the very pretty tree-lined Shady Lane, leading to the steep, icey and nerve-wracking Look Out and then the White River Run. I was glad to be following someone down - it gave me confidence (the kids, meanwhile, merrily skied down this route several times all by themselves apparently without a qualm).
Halfway down Shady Lane our instructor stopped us and pointed off into the distance. We could make out a sort of spike - which turned out to be the Bennington Battle Monument.
Surely not the chocolate moose!
