Great Stowe Day...Or Should I Say Snow Day?

Had a great day at Stowe last Tuesday. We decided to hold off on our Monday trip and let it all ride on Tuesday and I am glad we did. Constant light snow made conditions perfect all day. Lifts were empty and it was as if we had the mountain to ourselves. We consistently found fresh pow run after run, whether it was on groomers or in the trees. With Wednesday rain in the forecast and the way this Winter is going, I knew this might be my last shot at some decent riding. I had to make sure I got in as much as I could. So with three minutes before last chair we made our way up to the top of the mountain and to a spot we saw earlier in the day, a nice stash of untouched woods just waiting for us. It was just awesome riding and a great way to finish the day. My only other memory of Stowe was my pathetic attempt at skiing when I was twelve, so it was nice to replace those with more pleasant ones. Having a timeshare to go there now year after year, I look foward to adding to those good memories!
