1. Both coming and going, the greatest pit stop in New England is Northampton, MA. This shot you can kinda make out the Haymarket Cafe, who used to be a radical bookstore but still make pseudo-Oriental dishes, juices and lattes that are ungodly.
2 and 3. Now at Sugarbush - some slalom racers testing their mettle on the fast Hotshot slope, these dudes are too fast for my camera.
4 and 5. Some shots of the slopes and birch forests. Be advised the forest is FOR SKIING! They call it the Deeper Sleeper, and to those who have braved it well....what can I say except ARE YOU ^&%$in CRAZY?!
Yes folks this is the trail. Wow.
6. And when you need a break from the deadly silence of rural wintery Vermont, you'll need Burlington. Here's the main strip in downtown, a beautiful view up (too bad none of these shots capture the SIX degree cold, which explains the lack of traffic on the street) This is where the first Ben and Jerry's still stands dudes and dudettes, and hippie radicalism of the type which Fox News can't stop raging against runs rampant. I'll write more about that tomorrow.
A mild foot injury sadly curtailed my plans for Mad River Glen this year, and pre-condo purchase poverty is limiting my local travels among other things. But I'll be back soon, maybe not next year but I will ski it IF I CAN. Yah!
