Rockin’ Ron for Hugh. After 18 years, it was a joy to finally ski with The Scull Family from PA!! I’ve seen them at many a Friendly Pirate Breakfast and when the kids were in camps. It was their first time on the slopes in two years and the weather and conditions couldn’t have been better. The kids say that I’m their oldest… I mean longest-running friend. It’s an honor to be a part of their family’s Smuggs Experience.
