There is nothing like driving up a long windy road with a babbling brook flowing along side. It was an amazing drive up rt-4 to get to Killington this Saturday. I wasn’t going to go up since there was no snow but I wanted to get things done and see the house so I ended up waiting until Saturday afternoon to make the drive. I’m glad I left in the daytime because the scenery is something to behold. Too bad I found out my camera had no charge or I would have stopped to take pictures.

I was just going to go up, get my season pass and then come right back down but a couple other people made it up for the weekend so I decided to hang out with them. If it was any indication on how good the season is going to be I’m going to have a blast. Even without the snow we all had a really good time and I made some new friends who I am looking forward to ski with this winter. I can say it is one of the best recreational decisions I have made and I highly recommend it to people even if they are not expert skiers or snowboarders. Our house is supposedly a good mix of beginners to experts.

It really is about the social aspect of meeting people who are into the same activities, be it going down the slopes or dancing at the club. We all went to dinner at the Wobbly Barn, which was excellent if a bit on the expensive side, and then went upstairs to hear some cover band from Connecticut. We got comped from dinner so it was free. The band was decent but nothing special. They kind of lost us when they started playing some of their own songs which didn’t have the energy of their covers.

We then went to the Pickle Barrel which is the other bar and the one we all have season passes to. That place rocked. They had a band on called Go Go Gadget which just blew me away. They took the covers they did and just owned them and they did everything from Brittney Spears to Bell Biv Devoe to the Black Crows. I mean some songs I cringe at when I hear them on the radio they actually made sound good. It was an all around mixture of Funk, Rock, Rap and Pop and was loads of fun to dance to, which we did in abundance.

I was all a great time and I am looking forward to next weekend. Hopefully there will be some snow but if not it should still be fun.
