Great Day at Mount Snow

We started our day bright and early yesterday -- 4 am. The reason? We were off for a day of skiing at Mount Snow (West Dover, VT). We were on the road by 5:25. It was 37 degrees. About an hour into our drive north the snow began. We knew that the temps were due to drop, but didn't know about the snow.




The road was a little slick, so we slowed down a bit. Then we got behind two trucks pulling snowmobile trailers. We were stuck behind them for the rest of the trip...

We arrived at Mount Snow around 7:55 am -- 20 minutes later than we expected -- and the temp was 19 degrees.




We were out on the mountain by 8:25. It was beautiful! Though the temps were cold, the snow was great and there weren't huge crowds.







The views are so incredible that I had to stop to take a picture. This was taken from the North Face around 10 am. You see Mike, very small, in the lower part of the picture.




Summit temp had to have been in the single digits by the time we stopped skiing around 3 pm. The base temp was 11 degrees and pretty crisp. All in all, a super day!
