Vermont Update

With only one more day left in Vermont before heading out to Canmore, I have to admit I’ve had a pretty awesome time at home. It’s not very often I get to come home during the middle of the winter so it was really cool to be able to see buddies and experience eastern skiing at it finest.

I even got a chance to meet up with the BKYSL practice and talk with the kids a little bit. I think there is something like well over 100 kids in the Prospect league and over 30 lollipopper aged kids. thats a J6 I think….So it’s a good sing of things to come.
The first 4 days I has at home were incredible…. perfect hard packed skiing 25 degrees and sunny every day. This was followed directly by a day of 50 degrees, howling winds and pouring rain. I was just lucky enough to have a 3 hour OD planned on that day too. Pretty brutal.
After a full day of hard rain it’s been back to winter here and the skiing actually held up OK. I did a 15K skate time trial this morning at Prospect and it was actually really sweet skiing accept for one sketchy icy downhill. But that’s why you’ve got to love eastern skiing. On Friday Morning I’m back on the road and heading to Canmore. I really excited to get the bib back on and race again… and I really can’t wait to get to Vancouver. Only two weeks away!

Your site provided me with two great sources of inspiration:

1) As a Squarespace client Cloudy did a stellar job on your website and raised the bar as to what can be done with Squarespace
2) As a Vermonter in the knowing that the Vermont youth are out there in the world representing the state and the country in such fine fashion.

I was just talking this morning to Paul Schwippert of Wardsboro (my home town) about the Vermont Skateboard company that he and his son are starting up. They have plans to build a skatepark on Rte 100 right near Mount Snow. (Dew Tour starts today,btw)

I told him about your website so he'll probably be checking it out.
I've got some podcasts planned to interview Paul and other VT happenings in the near future once I get everything all set up.

Great job all around!!
