Love can take you higher. Like to hike? Whether you scale New York State's Catskills or C-1 together, the invigorating experience will get your heart pumping and your cheeks flushed... same as being in love. Tip: Non-hikers can attain the same peak experience by riding a ski-resort gondola to the summit in summer. However you get there, the view will be romantic and exhilarating, the perfect setting for a wedding proposal.

"Now that there's a new lift over at Parsenn Bowl, the much-anticipated, six-person Panoramic Express (highest six-pack in North America!) that opened this season, the untracked goodies are easier to get to. Still, not everyone knows about the new lift, and not everyone is willing to brave what can be a very cold, very windy trek at 12,060 exposed feet high.

"It's worth checking out Parsenn, especially if we've had snow recently," said Jimmy McCafferty. "The new stuff they have off there is good, and the blue-blacks up there, Willett's (Way) and the (Johnstone) Junction, they usually have (powder)in the trees."

"Few people ever get to have the mountain to themselves, so Paul Tourangeau says he knows he's lucky to be able to perform sweep for Winter Park's Volunteer Ski Patrol. "My favorite thing to do is check out the view of Perry Peak at the end of the day; the alpenglow is just amazing," he said. "But everyone should stop what they're doing now and then and take a look."

Tree's a crowd:
According to Darryl Stein, the trees are tight and packed with powder off Trestle, a black diamond run on Mary Jane. "You have to take a blue to get down to it, I think it's called Roundhouse, and then you can kind of drop in and out as much as you want. You can cross over into these great shorter hits off there, or you can just ride it down to a blue and then cruise on outta there. And then lather, rinse, repeat, as far as I'm concerned. Grab the Super Gauge (Express lift) back up."

Bump up against it:
Mary Jane is, of course, the mogul mistress — it consistently has been rated No. 1 for moguls in the country by Skiing Magazine — and Kristen Tourangeau, a former ski racer, likes to meet her old racing buddies on the Jane and bump down Derailer to pick up the black diamond Boiler, a shortie that gets rough at the end.
