Getting on snow after a week at a conference. Thank goodness!

Cross-country skiing in northern Vermont.

Cross-country skiing in northern Vermont on Saturday.

New Orleans on Thursday: High of 70 degrees and humid.

Northern Vermont on Saturday: A couple of inches of new snow and 13 degrees.

Which would you choose??

I didn't have a choice as I was a conference. (OK, New Orleans didn't suck and I learned a lot at the conference!) But I was so very happy to get home and out on the snow this afternoon!

Vermont experienced rain while I was away. Very sad, indeed. But thankfully it snowed last night in northern Vermont. It made things white again at our local cross-country ski center. The Skimeister and I hit Catamount Outdoor Center this afternoon for a nice, groomed loop of skiing in the woods.

We look forward to doing more skiing this holiday weekend. Because of the recent wet-turned-frozen weather, groomed trails will be the way to go.

Mother Nature is now into her familiar spring thaw - freeze - thaw cycle. Spring skiing means you now do not want to be the first on the lift in the morning. It's often best to wait for the sun and/or…
