Still thin snow but I went to Bolton and it was reasonable. Thin base but a few inches on top of enough base to keep you off of the rocks. A better day than expected. Up to Stowe View, Paradise Pass, and down to Moose Ski and lower trails. Forecast calls for significant snow in a few days. We shall see.
I have never been to the Smugglers Notch x-country trails. They are very nice! I think they have expanded over the years. Great snow on the trails today after maybe 2 inches of snow last night. Still need more snow to explore beyond the marked trails up toward the ridge. Lots of options here. This also connected to Brewster River trails so more biking next summer!
This was a perfect blue sky day with temps around 10. Very little wind so the cold wasn't much of an issue.
Still need more snow. There is some and Stowe does a pretty good job with limited natural snow but we need a large storm or few small ones before things can open up more.
Silver Lake:
A day of skiing at Stowe followed by hike up Mansfield. Skiing was good on what trails were open. Spent most of my time on Nose Dive and one other. Done by 11AM and then hiking from the Long Trail up to Adams Apple. Started up to top of Mansfield but got too icy before the top. Snowed about 2 inches during the day.
The street:
Lots of trails South of us. Named bike and walking trails. On the South side of the hill I ran into a road that could be followed down to access off Manley road?
The hill itself is steep! I went about 3/4 of the way up but lots of cliffs. It will take another trip to figure out the route up this. On the way up I could see East toward wind mills and South to large neighborhood.
