Yesterday there were 5500 people at Whiteface so I opted to check out Azure Mtn. for some
glade action on my snowboard. When I arrived at the base, it was warm and sunny outside, a
great day for photos I thought. By the time I reached the summit the wind was blowing around 30 mph and it was sleeting. I was able to get some shots of the road there, the fire tower, inside the tower, and what was left of the view from the top.

Azure Mtn. is located near the town of Santa Clara, NY and near is a stretch, about a ten mile drive down a snowmobile trail, which made me glad to have the Rav4. The elevation is about 2700 feet, and the hike to the top is short a bit over a mile. This gave me the opportunity to do 2 laps of the glades, which are the better then I have found at any resort.

I was there by myself, so I didn't get any action snowboarding shots, but I hope you enjoy the pics posted.
Until next time.
