Sunday River, ME
Wednesday, March 17th, 1999
These Pictures are from my St. Patrick’s Day trip to Sunday River in Bethel, Maine. The glorious afternoon sported fifty to sixty degree temperatures with little wind. The mountain had just received a good three feet of snow the previous week and it was the last day of the season that they would have all trails open.
My trip to Sunday River sparked a sudden shift in my skiing life. No longer a terminal intermediate, my training with the UMass Lowell Ski Team provided a sound though still developing foundation of technical ability. This trip to Sunday River marked my first forays into natural snow and gladed terrain. It was also my first solo skiing outing. My development as a skier and my appreciation for trees and natural snow can be traced back to this afternoon at Sunday River.
