A Beach Party Day At The Woods

The calendar says spring, the conditions say mid-winter. Sure, Bretton Woods Beach Party may have not offered the mashed-potatoes snow and sunny skies we think of when dreaming of spring skiing, but that didn't stop the guests and staff at the mountain from getting into the spirit with leis and #dayatthewoods neon sunglasses for everyone. Who can resist skiing in costumes and cheering on those crazy folks who dare to make it over the slush pool using gear that's made for sliding on snow?

A few of our favorite moments from last weekend:

Bridget skied like a butterfly all day to celebrate the coming of spring.

Timmy wore his Dinosaur head and lei proudly as we cruised the mountain.

I took advantage of the Sport Thoma Demo Day happening at the resort. In the firm conditions, I especially loved the Blizzard Viva and Head Super Joy.

Timmy and Bridget joined just about everyone on the mountain in cheering on the slush pool competitors. (Bretton Woods photo)

While the kids were treated to an animal show at the Kids' Apres Ski Party upstairs in the base lodge, Outdoor Dad and I just might have enjoyed an adult beverage while Jah Spirit brought sunny beach vibes to northern New Hampshire.

Sunday brought those sunny skies and warm temperatures that we've been dreaming of.

As we frolicked in the soft bumps of Peboamauk Falls, Bridget found one of the Groomer Grab prizes hidden on the mountain for Beach Party. We're headed to the Mount Pleasant Golf Course this summer!
