Open, -1º at 6:00 am. Warming up to 17º today. Blue sky and another great ski day. 25 km classic and 6 km skate. All great skiing.

The skiing is really good. It is easy to overdress if you are new to Nordic skiing. Dress in layers and bring some dry clothes for the drive home.

This weekend is a busy one. If you ski early there are less people. Please remember to follow the State of Vermont’s guidelines for Covid safety. Please fill out the contact tracing form online. And while around the base area and parking lot wear your mask! Please also practice staying a poles length away from people not in your party.

And one last photo. There is a ski trail in this photo, and I tried cropping it, but I really like the photo like this. Sorry about not focusing on the ski trail. If only I were a bird!

‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops – at all …

Emily Dickinson
