Skiing Mad River


Although skiing is not an activity I get to participate in very often it is one of my favorite and maybe only winter pastimes. So after trying to convince a few different people to go with me, I finally found a taker. Aaron and I sat aside an afternoon and when the time arrived we headed north for the slopes.

Near Bellefontaine, Ohio is a modest mountain sporting a handful of man-made snow covered downhill slopes. Mad River Mountain is not exactly Aspen, but not bad for Ohio. The one feature that is impressive is their night skiing. Their slopes are so illuminated it is almost like daylight.

Aaron is a snowboarder and is very skilled. I was able to capture one of his jumps with my camera.

We had a great night enjoying and slashing the slopes. For more information on Mad River Mountain go to: http://www.skimadriver.com/
