Fun skate skiing at Catamount today

— Catamount Nordic, Cross-country skiing

Great snow coverage at Catamount nordic center in Williston, Vermont.

A lovely view toward the Adirondacks from a hill in Williston.

Remember that snowstorm a few days ago? Well it dumped a lot of snow on the cross-country ski trails at Catamount Outdoor Center in Williston, Vermont.

We took a late lunch break and hit the trails for some skate skiing. It was our first this season so we just did one big loop. We skied Night Trail to 3 Rivers to Sandman's.

I felt really out of balance to start. I laughed a lot as I nearly wiped out a few times! The snow was soft so I wasn't feeling super steady until the end of the loop.

This nordic center is just a hop, skip and jump from Burlington. It's a great resource. And they light the trails for night skiing a few nights a week so you can head over there after work.

Check out our snowy photos!

Sunday temperatures are sounding very chilly. For this reason, this morning I checked ski area snow reports to see where there might be some new snow to play in today. Some lake-effect snow had been…
