Spring skiing

Yesterday the Wagoner-Libby Group took a must needed day off to enjoy this outrageous spring weather. Due to a lackluster northern VT forecast, we travelled to Mt. Snow at the bottom of the state. After enjoying a late dinner in Wilmington tuesday night, including a few bottles of choice wine, we rested up for what would prove to be an epic day of skiing.

At 9 am we were on the lift donning lightweight sweatshirts. By our second run the sweatshirts proved to be too much. The blue sky stretched from horizon to horizon and the sun lit up the surrounding landscape beautifully. We didn't have access to sunscreen until we broke for lunch, so I am paying the price today for the 85 degree temperatures.

I have never had the pleasure of skiing Mt. Snow. The lifts are fast and the trails are plentiful. Numerous obstacles and jumps are in place to make each trip down the hill challenging and different. I look forward to getting down there again, perhaps when the snow is not so soft and slow.
