Cross Country Ski X-C and Snowshoe Conditions, Southern Vermont, Putney...
Update. Winter is still mild in southern Vermont, but we drove up past Ascutney and the treelines looked like they were frosted with sugar. Quite beautiful.
Today was the fourth snowfall of the season. About an inch. Watch this space for reports on snowfall, weather, snowshoeing conditions and cross country ski trail updates at Hickory Ridge House - your winter vacation headquarters in southern Vermont.
