Two-a-days once again

Fire's cranked and there's snow out the window right now. Still, the trails were riding quite well this morning before things started to stick. We snuck sweet 2.5 hour mtb ride, with central VT's best (2,000 vertical foot) descent mixed in for good measure, and followed it up with some biscuits and gravy at Positive Pie in Plainfield (seriously good weekend brunch).
Throw in a late afternoon mission to snag a few turns on the Marquette's, and you've got a pretty good Saturday. Sounds like tomorrow might feature some awfully nice turns up high. Certainly can't complain about lack of options.
See you out there!

Winter Begins in Earnest

Ski season kicked off in earnest with some sweet top to bottom runs this weekend. A quick scouting mission late in the day Saturday got me pretty psyched.


Sunday Nina and I headed out, getting some pretty sweet turns in up high.


Skiing Marquette Backcountry skis has really opened up terrain. A little snow and grass all of a sudden becomes really fun. Pretty stoked to be stepping things up with the Pro Leisure Team this winter.


More snow on the deck this morning. Must be winter.
