PICO MOUNTAIN, VERMONT, USA.

LESS WILL BE BETTER

On a run of visiting some trails less carved and old ski school destinations. Not a detachable in sight. Travelling today in hope of recapturing some of yesterday's, pre-mega, mountain magic.

Here at our number four hill we will go a little bigger in acreage. Still a relatively small number of lifts service this sister of big brother Killington.

If we ordered a weeks worth of weather, we wouldn't be much off what has come our way.

Today's bluebird is tempered by some rather sub freezing temps for mid-March.

Not so packed powder!

Getting ready for the Trump/North Korea talks.

Here Kate's on a bushwhack  a.k.a.  "roll'n in the deep "  a.k.a  stuck many times on some outer trials.

Many of New England's ski hills promote an up-hill policy.

Outdoor life

They have been skiing here since 1939.

It would be these local Vermont hills that were the first anywhere to start recognizing and accepting modern day, "snurfers" (snow/surfer), snowboarders.

"go small and we won't go home"

March 16, 2018

We've come to a most unassuming hill,

Middlebury College Snow Bowl.

Been, like most places this trip, far on the edge of the alpine radar. 

Three fix grip lifts in all,

a handful of locals and myself,

taking advantage of some of the best snow I've ever skied.

Remote Control

Kate was just down the road XC sking. Again if it wasn't for a sizable accumulation of natural snow over  the past week, might of been dodging golf balls.

My kind of

March Madness.

Balancing out enough past New England boiler plate concrete with this rather interior British Columbia powder.

The result of some rather ten to fifteen degrees below mid March normal temps.

Spinnin' wheel got to go 'round,.....

Being where I am and being where I'm from, people asked me whats up with Canadian bacon.

If suspiciously from a homeland security point, I ask:

"Whats up with Mexican bacon?"

Snow bowl indeed!
