After another thaw that closed out January — this time hitting us on Wednesday and into Thursday — we're now heading back into winter weather. A couple of ski areas closed on Thursday to help retain…

It’s been darn cold this week in Vermont. In fact, I’m scared to see my heating bill! During this cold snap, why not cozy up with hot chocolate and these short videos related to snow and skiing in…

We have had a Stowe kind of week. The two biggest Nordic centers in Stowe held on to much of their snow after last week's thaw, so we ended up skiing there again on Saturday. My friend and I enjoyed…
