Return from the frozen north

We went skiing this past weekend with katertoticus and my brother. Went to Mount Snow, which I'd never been to before. Very nice, although small in comparison to Killington. The green trails, however, were really easy blues. The blacks were actually hard blues. From what I saw, the entire mountain's basically blue. Pleasant, though - the conditions were just about perfect. Packed powder, almost no ice, cold but not super cold.

And then the rest of the weekend was playing board games with Bostonians. Dan has one of the more intriguing toys I've seen in awhile - small, remote-controlled helicopter you can fly around the room. It has a tendency to crash into things and attack people's faces, though. It's awesome. Really hard to fly, but awesome.

It's a shame Boston is so far away from New York. I'd love to visit more often, without the four and a half hour bus trip.
