New Year's Eve 2000 at Sun River and Mt. Bachelor
The trip started with an inauspicious omen: a truck promising 2200 non-stop miles
with an accordian.
Once at the house at Sun River, primary amusements were reading, Tangrams, and
the SuperSphere kit (or whatever it's called).
Snowgirl was the mascot, spokesperson, and guardian of the house.
On the last day of boarding (the 31st), I finally summoned the courage to
bring my camera up to the slopes. Sadly, Kathy was sidelined with torn
cartilage in her knee, courtesy of a nasty fall on the first day, and Forrest
and Tamara opted out for the day. So the pictures are of only Eric and I.
But the final day was exactly like the previous three, in terms of weather and
snow conditions.
After a number of runs down Red Chair, we wandered over to the far western
side of the mountain, for a couple of runs down Northwest Express. Here is a
shot very near the top, with the Sisters in the background. Eric is at the
bottom left adjusting his bindings, and a skier (in blue) is in the middle,
collecting his gear after what I would describe as a sliding yard sale.
Near the end of the day, with long shadows. This is near the top of Red
Chair, although we'd come down from Outback Express. Through a trick of light
and shadows it looks like Eric has a large icicle through his head. Definitely
my favorite shot of the Sisters.
That night was, of course, New Year's Eve.
Once home, I had to wash the truck.
