The first area Simsbury Ski Club Hill was tucked back off the road behind some houses. Sandy was able to spot the old lift line from the car, but it will require a full on poach to check out and ski this one.
Next on the list was Bloomfield This one shows a Ski Lift on the topo map but is another perfect case of "you can't get there form here". We couldn't get close enough to hike in but I'll give it a shot again at a future date.
Thanks to Brian Smith's Facebook comments Westledge School was back on my radar. This one is going to be great ski once we get some snow!!
The parking lot at Master's school will allow for easy access. The slope is a bit overgrown, however the lift line, which was a run too back in the day is steep and long and has at least 200FT vertical drop. It's in very good shape too. At a max of 12 FT wide we're going to need to keep things turning. Victor says he's looking forward to schussing this run. Sandy was playing this one close to the cuff and showed no emotion. We all agreed it was going to take some snow to make this run skiable.
After checking things out for a while Victor and I had a quick shot of Aquavit and toasted Ullr! Let's get this winter show on the road!!
