There is also a family business that has long time employees. Do you think they (the employees that are like family)maybe felt a touch obligated to go, or were stoked at 3 on a saturday afternoon to drive 40 miles......
selfishly, it was a ski day that ended prematurely. got up early, drove to VT, skied until 1, drove home.....The Ski the East Freeride Tour held a comp at Magic that day....a good day got ripcorded.
i adore the baby, have my own kids, and am generally respectful of others precious free time.
