Winter Sports II.

1-1-11 VERMONT: There’s not a lot to say, but I can’t let all those ones go by with out a post. I went to the Dartmouth Skiway yesterday, it was warm and sunny, and the snow was groomed, packed powder. Off the groomed trails, the snow was slushy and thin, but still ski-able. I forget how much fun skiing is until the first run each winter. New England skiing is usually done on 15°, windy days under leaden skies, so yesterday’s weather was a treat.

The warm day yesterday and today, it’s 50°, let all the snow and ice on the metal roofs slide off, causing big thumps when it hit the ground or the deck. Every crash sets off a new round of barking. After the roofs were all clear, we shoveled the deck for the second time this week.


A great afternoon at the Skiway, warm, sunny, packed powder.
