Mountain Skiing 2018

Saw this on my friend’s fridge on our Long Trail section hike. I’m already looking forward to skiing this winter and hoping to come back to Vermont for some of that ski action.

Poplar Hut on the Maine Huts & Trails. You’re not supposed to use cell phones in the lodge but I was discreet. Love these well appointed lodges in the woods.

Day 2 of skiing on Maine Huts trails. Heading up to Poplar Hut.

Stopping for a break on our out-and-back ski at Stratton Brook Hut in the Maine Huts & Trails network. Beautiful place to stay overnight (luxury & ecofriendly “backcountry” accommodations and food) and great place to take a ski break, enjoy the free coffee, thanks to Carrabasett Coffee.

So happy to be in the Maine woods! One of my favorite places.

We made it out of the city! @toesalad and I were gifted a two day getaway in the Bigelow mountains of Maine when our friends let us borrow their cabin this weekend. We’re sticking with cross-country skiing for this short trip (we left our backcountry skis and skins at home).

Skiing with friends again this week. Chairlift buddies.

Beautiful snow this day

My favorite time of day at the ski hill, end of day skiing, transition to night skiing. The hill empties, the lights come on, the groomers have done there afternoon sweep of the most popular runs. I always try to get in a few runs during this magic hour before we have to leave.

This week we brought a friend skiing with us.
