Misson Accomplished

What a day here at Stowe! Sunshine and 30 degs no wind, just a perfect day. We took the bus to the Trapp Family Lodge Nordic Center. We went up to the cabin which is near the highest point on the property. The climb was long but the trails were just perfect. The sky was clear and we could just see forever. The Haul Road downhill was great if just a bit icy. We fell a few times on out journey down the mountain. The trip down is always colder as you are not generating as much heat. But the lodge was not too far and warm and had food! A band was playing jazz as we warmed up by the hearth. Tonight is a wine and cheese and then dinner. Now I just have to get my bones into the shower... and a quick nap.
