UConn ski club trip to Sugarbush during junior year winter vacation 1976. Got on a bus in D lot at 5:00am and was told to save an extra seat for my friend's girlfriend's best friend (there was a group of us going).
When she showed up I offered her the seat next to me (Joe had gone outside to see to the bags) instead of the one we'd saved behind us. At the time I had hard contact lenses in and you couldn't sleep with them in - so for 3 1/2 hours I kept her up talking. After a few days of skiing together as a group and partying at night, she and I went for a walk in the snow and found an open door to the gondola station at the base of Sugarbush. We laughed as we snuck in and made out inside. We were engaged the following Christmas and married a year later after I graduated (I needed an extra semester) - the week following the biggest snowstorm in CT history - February 1978.
