Easter at Mont Sutton, 20 avril 2014
Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2014 10:11 pm
What was i supossed to do this easter?
What are we celebrating anyway? The ressurection of Jesus-Christ? The restriction of the catholic church are pretty boring; you shall not work and attend Mass... arrrrrrkkkk
Where does that leave me on a sunday with a clear blue sky?
Of course I could watch the clear blue eyes of Robert Powell in the drama biography of Jesus of Nazareth but the 6 hours of the depiction of the life of christ are just not my style.
Ben Hur maybe with his 11 oscars? No... I don't think so.
Why not ski?
After all:

I admit, i commited a sin this year. I did not respect Lent. I did ski somewhere between Clean Monday to Lazarus Sunday.

I was supossed to meet Johnny Love at Sutton today around 13h00. That a bit late for me, I have kids and they get up early in the morning so I arrived at the moutain around 9h30.
Only a few trails were groomed overnight in the chairlift II area so I started up with that sector. There is still a lot of snow remaining. Even the woods in that sector (the lowest part of the mountain) had some sort of coverage...
The moutain did receive some centimeters of snow yesterday. I was even possible to make first tracks today 
Most people already switched to golf of bike, the attendance today was modest. Still, at least 30 trails were open with 5 of the 7 lifts spinning today.
One of my favorite spot today. Unfortunately, my daughter did not like as much as me
