Mount Jefferson, Lee ME

Well, my timing was off by a week for Mt. Jefferson because one week earlier, Maine had received a 2 foot dumping of snow and every ski trail on every mountain was probably open and then a few days before my journey - heavy rain - which explained the abundance of parking lots posing as skating rinks.

This looks like a really neat place with some rather steep, menacing runs. Unfortunately, since it relies on natural snow, it's cover was a little bare in spots and icy. Made two turns on my snowboard, gave a nod to the mountain and hightailed it back to my car.
