skied yesterday day afternoon and today with our own epic. He is a great guide and showed me some really great skiing in and around stowe. We did alot of powder skiing believe it or not. from as little as 3-4 inches to as much to a 12-14 inches of settled powder. Stowe is very big mountain and the out of bounds is even larger. Please do not go out on your own here the chances of getting lost or cliffed out in the trees here is really high.
Epic's beautiful view when you wake up each morning

The final chute on banana needs more snow to be fun, honestly I was tired and this was survival skiing at best for me. the bumps,powder, ice, rock, trees, stumps, waterfalls take thier toll on your skiing quickly. Epic and whiteroom made this look easy.

Thanks for the TRs Denis & BW. Need to get up there soon, haven't been this year. Nothing like a little VT cold to clear the mind.
Bush,
Not sure why but this site only seems to like the 'layout' link on photobucket. There also seems to be a limit of 10 pics per posts. - Clay

Looks Sweeeet! Vermont is off to another record year. Just checked the Stowe site and they have 175" with the Mt. Mansfield stick reading 52" and it's only mid January! I will be at Stowe tduring he week of the 25th in time hopefully for some moderate weather. A winter without at least one VT trip would be unbearable. With this last snow it looks like the Bush and the Glen are all full open too!
thanks so much clay for the fix
No problem. Still a computer geek at heart
