Pre-lunch cross-country skiing in the sunshine

— Catamount Nordic, Cross-country skiing

Skinny skiing in the sunshine in northern Vermont.

Gorgeous day here in Vermont's Champlain Valley. Bright sun, blue skies. The snow had frost on top of it this morning at Catamount cross-country ski center, making for some fast skiing. We stayed on the meadow trails to make the most of the sunshine. Here are a few shots from the ski.

What's on tap for this weekend? We're going to mix it up by doing some nordic skiing and some alpine skiing.

Saturday looks like it will be a gorgeous, sunny day in the 20s or so, and Vermont ski resorts were reporting fresh snow earlier this week. Looks like we'll do well no matter what we choose. Be aware that for Sunday/Monday we may see some mixed precipitation. Grrr. Get out there while the sun's out!
