It wasn't the best skiing, but Vermont in Winter rarely fails to calm my soul and this trip didn't disappoint. My nephew Cody, my cousin Nick and I drove up to Killington on Sunday and were greeted by a roaring fire and the comfortable confines of Turn of River Lodge a few miles downhill from Killington base lodge on sleepy Route 4. The skiing conditions were really bad as a weekend warmup created vast sheets of ice across the resort. A snowstorm descended on our last day, promising better conditions for later in the week, but we had to hit the road and return home on Wednesday...bad timing for our skiing portion of the trip.
Cody and Nick went snowmobiling on Tuesday as I sat by the roaring fireplace in our lodge and read a bit and just relaxed. I drove up Route 4 a stretch and took some pics before picking them up from their snowmobile outing.
I'm already looking forward to a return trip later this season when the powder should be more widespread.
Happy New Year!!
