Updated 11/16/2023 Anyone out there ready for ski season? Psychologically I am ready. But if you are like me, you may be thinking about the ski and snowboard gear you want or need. Ski swaps are one…

Mother Nature is now into her familiar spring thaw - freeze - thaw cycle. Spring skiing means you now do not want to be the first on the lift in the morning. It's often best to wait for the sun and/or…

Woods covered in 2 inches of new, spring snow. Waxless skis and three-pin bindings. Light fleece layers. Wax to rub on skis to keep the snow from clumping. Mix all these ingredients for a…

I like to keep my eye on the weather — especially this time of year. We had that wonderful dump of snow last week. It was then followed by some rain. Looking ahead, we may see rain again on Thursday.…

Wow — we've seen some crazy snow totals of up to three feet from this week's snowstorm! We got out to cross-country ski while the snow was winding down, then some downhill skiing on Thursday morning,…

This last week has been so fun! We've been enjoying the best skiing of the season. And now the temperatures are very comfortable, to boot! We've been getting out to ski in the morning and by…

Hallelujah, we have some snow! A look at the graph of the snow at the stake atop Mt. Mansfield has some good news: At that elevation, we are nearly catching up to the average snowfall for this time of…

Lotsa fun today skiing in light, fluffy powder at Stowe Mountain Resort! We were in line at the quad when it opened at 8 a.m. That afforded us some powder turns on trails like Liftline, Nosedive and…

We stayed in and worked while the wind whipped up scary wind chill numbers on Friday and Saturday. By Sunday morning, we were chomping at the bit to be back on snow. We enjoyed a nice ski tour in the…

Hasn't it been great to have winter again? We've been enjoying getting out into the snowy woods for ski tours. It's so pretty! Hope you've been getting on the snow, too!

Just a few photos of an afternoon riding the quad at Bolton Valley Resort in northern Vermont. The snow kept falling through the day and I found some fun, rather deep snow. The ski area reported…

Here are a few shots from my Monday morning Nordic ski up at Bolton Valley's cross-country trail network. It looked more and more wintry as I drove up to the 1,800-foot base area. I enjoyed skiing…

It's Saturday morning and I'm encouraged to see that some ski areas got a couple of inches of snow — especially in southern and eastern Vermont. It's been tough waiting on cold temperatures and…

The Skimeister and I took advantage of the long holiday weekend to explore the snow conditions in the woods in Bolton, Vermont. Between 1,400 and 1,800 feet in elevation, we came across about five to…
