So it's 70 Degrees?  It's Not Over Until the Snow's Really Gone.

 

On April 2nd (no foolin') five female Stowe Nordic M4's, M5's and an M6 (aka. middle-aged women) had a fabulous backcountry ski from Bolton to Trapps. Despite what you might think, Bolton still has some backcountry skiing up high and is offering $10 tickets for the Easter weekend.  There was snow for most of the way along the Catamount Trail, and tons of sun to make for a great late season tour.  (Okay but when you're with Trina, it is not exactly at a leisurely pace.)
