Ski Day #20- Let's Get Some F!@#$% French Toast (Ski Butternut, MA)

Today I headed out Ski Butternut. I've never been there before, but I went because of an article in SKI Magazine that recommended hitting Joe's Diner in Lee, MA which is nearby. This was my first stop on the trip. A ski breakfast out in Colorado is eating a breakfast burrito while walking up to a lift, but a ski breakfast back east means diners, and this one did not disappoint. The french toast was big, creamy, and delicious. It's the perfect way to start out your day at Butternut (or Bousquet which is also nearby).

After filling up on toast frenchies it was time for some snow freshies. Butternut reported five inches of snow from the storm that swept through the night before (the most in the east), but it was more like six inches in many spots. Butternut is not very steep, but I was able to get in a few faceshots by making quick turns on Downspout.

Butternut is not overly large, so fresh lines were disappearing fast. As I was searching for some more fresh gnar I came up with a new song in my head. It is re-write of Steal My Girl by One Direction which I was listening to earlier in the day (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpsKGvPjAgw). It goes:

Everybody want to steal my line,
Everybody want to shred that pow today,
Couple billion in the whole wide world,
Find another line cuz that one's mine today.

In summary, just another great New England ski day.  French toast and fresh pow, what more in life do you need?

Check out the old school lift towers, such a throwback.

This is the scene from The 40-Year-Old Virgin that inspired the title of today's post.

Butternut reminded me a lot of Monarch Mountain in Colorado. Same type of layout and same laid back vibe.
