The Burlington Ski and Outing Club organized this trip to Craftsbury. It snowed 1.5 feet on Sunday and the trip was Monday and Tuesday. Good timing! Great snow, of course, but also very cold. Monday it was still snowing most of the day. The lows were around -15 and the highs were 5 on Mon and around 10 on Tue. Tue the sun came out and it was a bright sunny blue sky day. Even though it was -10 to 10 degrees while we were skiing it felt very comfortable and the visibility and views made it a much nicer day than Mon.
Craftsbury is a nice place to ski and getting nicer as time goes on. The ski center lodge was new maybe 5 years ago and the dining room had a major upgrade this year. The trail maintenance is exceptional. You don't hear or see the groomers much but somehow almost every trail you go on has been freshly groomed.
All of the pictures below are from Tue. Monday wasn't a picture day since we were still in storm mode.
