 | Comments: |
Today was like October with mostly bare ground, some mud lower down and some ice higher up. Only one person out of a couple dozen I met used traction, Stabilicers below the ice zone so all it accomplished was chewing up the dirt. Nose Dive ski trail almost entirely bare - Stowe forbids hiking on ski trails during operating hours but allows it after the lifts stop which this time of year means after dark.
