Living in VT has it's ups and downs, but days like today remind me why I live here.
Mostly clear skies? Yes. Air temp? About 80 degrees F.... Perfect weather to snowboard!
Very slushy, you get worn out quick. It's bump skiier heaven tho, and all the ladies wear less clothes on the slopes. It's the best of both worlds! Good times, party like atmosphere at the bottom, beers, sun, BBQ's in the lot, then up again for a few more runs!
Closing day is this Sunday tho. Then time for summer work, boooo!

That reminds me of snowboarding in Big Bear. Somewhere I have a picture of me snowboarding wearing an A-shirt.

I'm on my way back up there now for the third day in a row. Like I said they close on Sunday, and rain is moving in this weekend, so might as well collect some sun while I can. The snow is gross, but it's snow so who cares! And to my surprise, there are several trails still open, so you have options while you are riding.

Colder today, temps in the high 40s low 50s.....

Dude, I group up in Rutland. What part of VT do you live in? I'm going back for a week in June; I can't wait!
