Hunter Mountainin the Catskills. There are Catskill, Fishkill, Wallkill, Sawkill, Beaverkill, Bearkill and many other ‘kill’ in NY. First time I saw places name with ‘kill’, I thought that was strange name. Now I know that ‘ Kill’ is Dutch for creek or stream.
We skied in the Poconos a few times seven years ago. We never got good at it. Kay was busy with her gymnastic meets, and I thought ski is not a good sport for my rheumatism. Now it is under control and Kay quit gymnastics, so we want to learn ski again.
Kay and I bought ‘The Beginner Try-Pak’ which is the best deal we have ever found. The Beginner Try-Pak
Amy’s lift ticket was free. With the purchase of an $89 Try-Pak or $64 Single-Pak, you can receive a free All Area lift ticket for the same day (Mon.-Fri., non-holiday)
The snow was slushy and not the best condition for skiing. But Kay and I had fun. Amy was bored, because she has to ‘baby sit’ us. We are not good skiers as her YET. We still have two more lessons with our Try-Pak. Next time we will take Level 2 and 3 lessons. (I took the beginner lesson at Pocono. Compare to that, today’s level 1 lesson was 3 times better.)
We are getting 5-10 inches snow tonight. Kay is hoping that school will be close or at least a 2 hours delay tomorrow.
