Profanity

So Saturday was beautiful here in Vermont. At least in terms of the sky it was beautiful; like often happens when it’s clear it was very cold (no insulation for the earth). Kind of a contrast of what was happening down south.

So the top of the mountain was calling out to me…so in the spirit of Capt. Al I decided I need to head up to the top. It was really driven more from the hiker/backpacker in me; I really wasn’t headed up thinking I would find that great of snowboarding up there.

The view was pretty much only hampered by the curvature of the earth. I only had the camera on my phone, so hopefully the pictures work for you.

The hike up was super wind-packed so I was ready for more of that when it was time to drop in...

So I need to end by reminding the reader: when exiting the resort make smart decisions well within your comfort/ability level. I backed away from another line on Saturday that I’ve done numerous times as I wasn’t comfortable with the ramifications of a mistake. Stay safe…
