New Year's Eve

After Christmas, I returned to New York and enjoyed 14 hours at home before setting off for Jay Peak for a week-long ski trip.

The snow was quite nice on New Year's Eve (though a bit shabby most of the rest of the time). I liked this construction site at the base of the mountain - if you look closely, you should be able to see a Christmas tree atop the middle tower:

Slopeside, the trees were coated thickly next to the snow-making machines:

A new snowboarder recovers quickly from the inevitable falls that go with learning to ride:

The trip organizers prepared an opulent barbeque feast for our last meal of 2008...

...but it was a low-key atmosphere as we relaxed with movies and games to welcome in 2009.


Happy New Year, everyone!
