Thanksgiving Snow

I'm sure people trying to fly across the country were bummed about the Thanksgiving storm this year, but it made for some fun early season skiing in Vermont yesterday. I met a buddy and skied from town for some early season tree-stash recon. A pretty sweet gift for sure...

We had a sweet little ski up through town to a high point...

The snow was wet and heavy...serious work to push around. But we found some good zones and managed not to face plant too many times.

Lot's of little hops and playful lines....

And beautiful snow covered trees...


Who knows, we might be mountain biking again in a week, but ski season is on the way. Too fun!

Preacher-Crucible

Fun stuff in Vermont these days. Warm temperatures keep holding on, and there are way fewer leaves on the trails than you might think. Spent a bunch of time playing on the ladders and rock faces of Preacher and Crucible today - thanks as always to the Fellowship of the Wheel for all the great work they've done.

The Best Kind of Two a Days

Shoulder season is in full swing in Vermont these days. The first ski tracks of the year happened the other day. Fun fast grass.


Down about a thousand feet in elevation though the trails are still riding incredibly well. Saturday was a full afternoon of shuttling some pretty sweet downhill runs.


Nothing too big feature wise - but plenty of fun options to keep things fun and challenging.


No snow in the immediate forecast, so I guess they'll be a focus on sweet trail riding for at least another week or so.
