Snowshoeing and Cross Country Skiing, 1/10/2005
Cross Country (Nordic) Ski X-C and Snowshoeing Conditions, Southern Vermont, Putney...
Snowshoeing conditions are excellent today (Sunday, January 9, 2005)
Cross Country Ski Trails Groomed Today (Monday, January 10, 2005)
Update. Yet another five inch plus snow Saturday. Fresh powdery snow in the meadow. Miriam and I went out on snowshoes, hiked up the hill and into the woods... looking out on this little patch of the Connecticut River Valley, wooded hills. If we get a couple of more days of snow, and it doesn't get too warm, we're set for several days amd maybe weeks of great snowshoeing conditions... all bets are off if the temperature sustains over 45 degrees for any period of time. As always, quite beautiful. Even better, hot chocolate by the fire when we come back in.
This week marks the tenth snowfall of the season. We're sending people to Grafton and Ascutney, and everything seems to be fine. Grafton Ponds started making snow on mid-December and hasn't stopped. Ascutney, Okemo, Mount Snow, Stratton, Bromley, Haystack all ready and waiting. Watch this space for reports on snowfall, weather, snowshoeing conditions and cross country ski trail updates at Hickory Ridge House Southern Vermont Bed and Breakfast Inn - your winter vacation headquarters in southern Vermont. Hickory Ridge House has groomed cross country ski trails and snowshoeing paths on premises, and is within 20 to 45 minutes drive of Nordic and alpine skiing centers, including Grafton Ponds Nordic Ski Center, Ascutney, the Brattleboro Outing Club, and other winter outdoor sports facilities. Other southern Vermont ski facilities, including Mount Snow, Okemo, Haystack and Stratton, are a slightly longer drive.
