Debating if I should light the stove. Cheers NNE, what a place to live.

Taken a few days to let the events of the eclipse set in. Talking with my wife we were both taken by the stillness of the event. It is cool to see the crowds and hear the joy and excitement in everyone, but I am forever grateful to have had the chance to do it from our home. A home that reminds me daily of the beauty of the world, to have sat there during the eclipse was something I didn’t know would matter so much to me and my family. Very grateful.





.

That was overwhelming. What a day! What an experience. I never left my yard:)



.

Shadows darkening



.

Not sure what’s more incredible
The eclipse anticipation, or the fact that it is 61F


.

Current conditions from our roof here in Newport Center VT



Bring it on!


.

Another 4” overnight. Snowing on a N wind now.




.

Home from the mountain to another 5”
11” so far. 30F and light snow.

Fun skiing, first laps in beaver pond tomorrow will be memorable for those who can get it


.

Cleared 6”, 27F. Snowin like a bastard.
There are some super pissed Robins




.

Finished ski day #9 out of the last 10 days at Cannon yesterday
Blindingly beautiful afternoon. Bumps were growing bumps.

The character of our ski hills in NNE is special





.

Woke up to 12” in the driveway
Saddleback says 20” in 24 hours. I believe.


.

Great winter storm
Snow falling straight down by Rangeley Lake
12” lakeside through the day

Saddleback on a powder day is highly recommended, trail edges that were untouched knee deep

Still snowing:)


9” in Newport Center

That was impressive last night. Blinding snow, 5” in 2 hours on Burke. Tipped over standing at one point, thought I was still going warp speed

Down to 10F now, still sideways snow. What a week to remember!

Heading Rangeley to check conditions this weekend. Should be decent.

Go Cats!



.

Heavy on the butter up this way



Even had 3” at the house. 21F at sunrise was a fine way to start NNE Spring


.

Elevation for the win indeed. Above 2K the surf is fine, dramatic switch to gradually freezing slop below.

Felt like skiing Burke this morning, alone on each run:)



Ski season survives another resuscitation


.

33F with flakes and rain in the air for the dog run this morning

Burke reporting 5 at the summit/ J 3. The once a year event where Burke out performs J:)

Good omen for the weekend

It was a great week of skiing, love March


.

4” of cream cheese at sunrise
J was 6”

Another snow scoop interval work out, hope the NW winds bring the goods


.

NNE,

“Ski it while you can”

21F this morning, missed the sound of the earth gurgling this morning walking the dog


.

Not much to look at down, but looking up continues to pay off


.

Two choice type of ski day

Edges or hip pads.

cold wind but warm sun, pretty nice day to be out. Took a walk up ranch brook. Pretty nice place to have down there PF. Not sure I can live anywhere else.




.

Lift lines aren’t always busy
Good winter’s day


.

Somehow the Mt picked up a few inches of dense snow last night. Dog and I were shocked to walk in blowing snow this morning.

Skiing was better, 6” would fix all that, so fingers crossed.

Starting to appreciate the longer sunlight now


.

Saw a few trucks with full sap tanks today, guess the first run in February is a thing now

50F in town when the sun popped out today. Buddy in Morgan had a thunderstorm.

Be nice to get back to winterish


.

February beach day! What a special time to be able to play in the mountains




.

Saw this today at Bolton



And then on the next lap , the fog filled in deep enough the lights came on at 12:30
