Otherworldly

Last week, we had the most recent of the many snow storms to have blanketed Vermont this winter. While many of us here in Vermont have experienced a few winters with more snowfall than we've had this season, we've never experienced this much snow that has been this good. It has remained quite cold since the end of 2008, so each storm has dropped very dry, light legitimate powder of the type not normally seen in such quantities here in New England. Last week's dump was no exception. Between the early hours of Wednesday morning and the lifts opening at 9:00AM on Thursday, we had somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 inches of snow ... and then the clouds cleared and the day turn sunny. I was lucky enough to get to ski during and after the snowfall and to get to make turns in some pretty awesome conditions, including in some very tight woods at Okemo that we rarely get to ski.

The photos here don't do justice to the day, but I was a bit busy skiing to focus on providing appropriately jaw-dropping media for the blog. Sorry, but you'll just have to come skiing and experience it for yourselves. There's another storm on the way this week, so it'll only get better out there.
