The snow has melted away, we had a beautiful Easter Sunday afternoon and the bike path is clear for use.

We enjoyed slightly warmer temperatures yesterday which increased into the evening. I was very pleased not to wake up to rain as I had my 4 grandchildren, 2 of their cousins and a few close friends with children over for an Easter egg hunt. It was nice enough that the kids actually played outside while we enjoyed our Easter brunch.

Here is a picture of Little Harper Mae Eliason enjoying the hunt!

Well the past week has been one that has pushed the snow plow drivers to the brink, giving us 40 inches of new snow in one week.  While many of us are starting to think about Spring and Summer, there’s still some good skiing left at Stowe.

The crowds are down and the deals are out, along with the sun and fun of spring skiing.  If you’re looking to get a few more turns in this year, Stowe is the place to be.  The soft corn snow along with sunglasses and lighter layers make for memorable final days on the mountain.
