Tom's Loft on Okemo officially opened this past weekend!

The owner was grumpy, the beer was warm, and the food was lousy as usual. Awesome!!!

I went fishing in one of our high mountain lakes yesterday and got to play in some snow drifts! What a great feeling!!

Ya buddy, It's a real small, real shallow, plate shaped pond. Its 8' at the deepest 6' to 7' average. It is up on top of a knob facing north, the wind howls down the valley, but it is ringed with big pines, which helps keep the wind off the ice, but it does get it cold fast. No monsters, but lots of Hungry Pickerel ! I got my kids started there just because of the sheer number of flags ! Waitin !!  :unsure: :wacko: :roflmao: :icefish:

Here's a pleasant thought, Spirit Lake, just down the road, was 33.4*f this morn.
But, warm tomorrow at 88.
And down the other road at Mosquito Ridge there is only 177" (14'9") of snow remaining. So, maybe we've got a head start.     :icefish:
