Schuykill- Heart Attack Ridge Jan 11, 2009

(Last Updated On: January 13, 2009)

Brittany and I were joined by several people on Sunday for some powder skiing on Schuykill mountain. Ben drove up again from Montrose, while Tom had 3 friends visiting from Vermont, making us a group of 7. At the top, we chose different lines for safety’s sake, leaving Brittany, Tom and I as a group of 3 on our route. My batteries died, and I haven’t seen any of Tom’s photos yet, but Brittany took some good ones.
