From the 801 (Utah) , I flew to the 802 (Vermont) .
My first day skiing i spent at Smuggs.
It was vermont day, 1/2 price ticket.
Smuggs brings back alot of memories having skied there for about 8 years.
The snow was good, the weather was great.
Skied the day with my sister Ashley and her boyfriend Andy.
At this point I was lost until I caught up to a few friendly Canadiens.
They showed me a few super soft and fun lines and some thick bushwacking back to the cars.
I spent 3 days at Stowe thanks to pete (sweeturns) on ns.
He hooked me up with a 3 day ticket he won for a great price.
First day there they had picked up a few inches the night before.
I ended up skiing great powder in the trees around the resort.
Off fall line ice to soft bumps it was all a blast, especially to ski non stop.
It was wild to be up in the alpine zone.
I skied off the top down the briefly exposed and rocky long trail north.
I scurried over to hellbrook which was tough with the stumpy trees all exposed.
My last day at stowe was decent.
Maybe the highlight of the trip I decided to hike up to the nose for sunset.
It was bitter cold and windy.
I am thankful for my puffy coat because I would not have made it to sunset with out one.
I also got to climb and ski camels hump.
My buddie Matt took a day off engineering things to climb and SLED the mountain.
The summit was freezing fog and the windchill was WELL below zero.
Quite the contrast from the woods approaching the peak which was calm and warm.
