Tuesday, the sun

Today the sun came out. After weather conditions that suggest winter is still with us, most of the Vermonters we know are done with it. My wife, Juliet, and I hiked up Mt. Mansfield, home to Stowe ski  resort. We skinned up a ski trail to a more than 100-year-old stone hut at the top. It is part of the AMC and Long Trail system of trails and shelters. We are preparing to skin and ski on Mt. Washington, in New Hampshire, later this week.

Lucky winter was just here.

I am lucky enough to be visiting my wife's parents in Morrisville, Vermont.  My wife and I are enjoying their company along with the great food that we have been preparing. 

During this week I plan on putting up some photos of our skiing and hiking.  The ski lifts are closed so most of the skiing is done by "skinning" up the mountains with telemark ski equipment. 

I'm looking forward to the course; the new tools have my interest.
