Skiing above the clouds in Vermont!

I enjoyed the rare treat of skiing above the clouds today. This doesn't happen too often in Vermont. It is very impressive!

We arrived at Smugglers' Notch for a morning of some skiing and thought it was going to be a cloudy day. The weather report had called for partly sunny skies, but it didn't look like it from the base lodge.

Frosted trees on Mansfield

Wintry photo of Mt. Mansfield

If you've never visited the Green Mountain Club website, I will offer you a fun reason to do so now. Every month Vermont photographer Paul Hansen posts a wonderful desktop calendar photo. This month it's a wintry shot of trees below Mt. Mansfield's forehead. Great shot.
