Today he could choose the one on the left. 3/17/2019

Open, 20º at 7am and cloudy. Forecast high 27º and becoming sunny. 12 km open. Woodcock, Snow Goose, Turkey, Grouse, Goshawk and Peregrine. 12 km classic and 6 km skate.

The snow today ground up nicely. A loose granular, sugary snow that the PistenBully, the machine on the left with the hydraulic tiller makes. The temperature and the snow conditions decide which machine is best for which day. Yesterday Ian couldn’t use the PisenBully, 55º on Friday and not cold enough Friday night, the snow was still too wet. Saturday morning Ian used the machine in the middle, the Ranger side by side with the Ginzu groomer. It works well and the skiing yesterday was good, especially after the sun warms the snow a little.

This machine works wonders. 3/17/2019

But today, he could use the snow cat and the skiing is pretty darn “noice”. (Vermont for really good.)

And speaking of Vermont…………the roads, how could it be spring if we didn’t have to talk about the roads.

Our road is one of the better dirt roads around. It is still ok. Wayne graded the bad parts of the roads in town last night before they froze all rutted up. Thank you Wayne!!!

But, Lover’s Lane, a road from Rt 11 to Hapgood Pond Road is not ok. (It is this morning because the temperature is 20º.) Please go around. Instead of turning left on Lover’s Lane go straight on Rt 11 for another mile or so. Turn right onto Peru’s Main Street. Go about 1/4 mile to the stop sign and take the hard right, Hapgood Pond Road, 1 mile on Hapgood Pond Road. Turn left on North Road and it is a mile and a half to us.

Thanks for helping us all survive mud season.
