After weeks and weeks of great anticipation and stories regaled of days of old, the day finally arrived on which Becky and I were to hit the slopes of Mt. Washington. To be honest, after all the hype I fed her, I was a little worried that the weather would be bad or that the beer would be warm or that the men wouldn’t be hot; I didn’t want to disappoint. Fortunately, the powder was fresh, the sky was sunny, the beer was crisp and the men were as delicious as the yam fries in Fat Teddy’s Bar and Grill.

We started the day very early with a handful each of Starbucks’ coffee before making the ascent to the mountain’s lodge. We were full of excitement, anticipation, adrenaline and peanut butter granola bars. We started our day by making our way to the Hawk 6ix Pack Lift and doing a start-up run, but then spent the rest of the day hitting the Eagle and Sunrise quad chairs.

After a quick lunch at Fat Teddy’s and a few more runs, I ran into my brother’s friend, Jared, who at one time lived with my family for a while. It’s always good to have a lot of “big brothers” looking out for you.

Becky and I couldn’t have asked for a day more perfect for riding. I am quite sure that the hype lived up to its promises - and more. I can’t imagine another girlfriend I would’ve wanted to bring. We shot a little video at the top of the Eagle chair, so if YouTube ever gets around to properly uploading the file, I’ll post that for your viewing pleasure. In the meantime, here are a few more shots of the day - find more on my Flickr.
