Oh, what a night! First a gathering at the base lodge to explain the agenda of the evening - then to Quadzilla for a ride up Valley Run at dusk and a gentle ski down to Sunnyside Lodge. The excitement begins - ski jackets and boots come off and we're given some cozy ski socks to wear upstairs. The second floor of the lodge has been transformed from a mountain cafeteria into a dimly lit cocktail party. The wine is flowing - the violinist plays background music as the conversations grow animated and appetizers are passed. Then it's time to dine - the food is exceptional - rack of lamb, beef tenderloin, salmon, and a vegetarian dish. Servers continue to float through the room refilling wine glasses and Joe Jung tells stories about the high mountain farms in Austria. The atmosphere was so intimate, by the end of the evening everyone felt like family. Then it was time for the torchlight ski - we were all given battery lights to help us along as we skied down Valley Run making first tracks. An unforgettable night. There are two more "Starry Nights" planned, so sign up soon if you want to experience this special event.
