Kooser 2024

My grandchildren, Avery and Jesse.  The best part about
traveling to Pennsylvania for my annual ski trip is
seeing these kids!

Our ski group has been renting a cabin at Kooser State Park, Somerset, PA since about 2007.  The cabin is our base for skiing the local trails and lifts at Seven Springs.

Great skiing with snow on Friday and
cold weather on Saturday and
Sunday.

This year the snow was excellent and the temps stayed cold, so the skiing was great.  Yet still, the camaraderie was even better!

Many folks from DhBoss, the sailing group based at Moraine State Park, have joined the crew skiing at Kooser/Seven Springs.  And this year, many non-skiers came out just to enjoy a mid-winter visit with their sailing buddies.

While a couple other years have had
more snow, this year was more than most.

Most of the folks around this table weren't even skiing,
they came to the Foggy Goggle to visit their
DhBoss (Davis Hollow Boat Owners Sailing Society)
skiing friends.

DhBoss!

And the sailors can't help pulling out
the charts and sea stories.

snowy day on the slopes.

Erik and Sean begin
preparations for the 
Saturday evening steak dinner.

Sean cuts the steaks
from the huge hunk of
meat he brought us.

Great steaks!

After the big steak dinner, the cabin crew joined the
crowd at Jen's condo for even more goodies.
