Spring Time
The sun finally burned off the clouds and rain and the last few days in Vermont have been beautiful. I believe the high the other day was 82 degrees. We decided to stay a bit longer in VT to enjoy the great weather.
Bumps
Mad River Glen Single Chair
We had a big group on the mountain with most of the GMVS nordies
It is sweet to ski in the morning and bike in the afternoon
