Yesterday was a day that I will memorize as the first skiing experience in the States! I had been looking forward to it for a while, now the time was there to head for Hunter Mountain, up NY state. This meant an early wake up call and gathering at a Starbucks on the Upper West Side to depart for our adventure. The group consisted of mostly Dutchies that I had met before, during watching NFL games in a sportsbar called "Stout" or other social events...
This trip was my first time going out of New York City and the reason was going skiing, double excitement! After being pulled over by a bored police officer for speeding on our way and a 2 hour drive we arrived safely in the village of Hunter Mountain. I would say the hills (or small mountains) are comparable to the south of Germany skiing experience. The area is not too big with 11 lifts and over 50 different of finding your way down. But absolutely perfect for a day with a couple of Dutchies!
Circumstances were good, although a strong wind and some clouds prevented the day from being called perfect. As you can see in the photo album there was enough snow, we had a great day of skiing.
Everybody enjoyed being outside all day long, out of the big, noisy city, it was super!!
