A sure sign the ski season is coming to a close...is the wet and wild antics of pond skimming?
I believe this College Fraternity Brother was dared to go with the tighty whities last year ... or it could have been the beer & tequila companies that sponsored the party.
The weather should be great this weekend peaking near 80 degrees .Yes Pond Skimming on skis, there are 26 trails still open even after all that rain. I don't remember the last time this event didn't end up on a crappy day. Not this year Mid-70's and sunny for this wet activity should really make it a lot of fun.

What a difference a few days make...massive floods, Followed by blue sky day. I had a bunch of trees down after all that rain and cleaned that up today. We have lived in this home for almost 6 years and we still haven't finished the landscaping. The best excuse has been this huge pond that I have been excavating for the last 3 year (and a year of permits). I always feel like my home and cobbler's children are a fair analogy. I have access to equipment but no time to operate it.
As part of my Architectural review Board position I visited a beautiful New Home slope side at Loon Mt today, I wish I could share a picture of the home but it's not for sale. The view of Mount Moosilauke is due west so I imagine the sun sets here will be wonderful.

That's a very amusing picture. You really should have asked for captions on this one!
Awesome view. They pond skimming this weekend?
Steve.. Tell me, did you ever venture and do the pond skimming when you were younger... say, last week?
Thanks Sharon & Ross, Should be a great weekend on the slopes, Im' ready for golf...skis are away for the season.
Val, the best time to pond skim is when you are wearing someone elses equipment, It has been a couple of years since I did it.
I feel ya on that whole cobber's children have no shoes thing. I do keep my office grounds fairly well maintained, but by the time I get home running the lawn mower and weed eater is really just "as good as it gets" I have so many plans and ideas. I need to just take a week off and get a project done.
Tammy, I spend way more time helping others with their home than working on my own. It is a Realtor thing.
Tequila, underware and Pond skimming...WOW, Talk about a mating dance!!!!
I'm think it was inspired by the beer and tequila companies! What is it with tequila and lack of inhibitions????? Sounds like an "interesting" event and just goes to show that there is something to do in ALL seasons in Loon Mt.!
That review board position you hold has got to take you to some gorgeous homes!
Hey...I was just getting ready to write a post about pond skimming at Waterville and came across your post. Tomorrow is going to be an unbelievable day to be at Waterville and Loon! As for me...I'll be at my in-laws having an Easter luncheon <sigh>
