Our NW Winter

Having lived in Seattle for 10+ years, I know what it is like to go between sleet, snow, and cold rain every day, with some nice, cold days added in. And I know that if I'm in Seattle, an hour away there will be good skiing and fresh powder most days. Now I know that there is nowhere in New England with altitude to speak of. If I said I came out east for snow, sorry for lying. Maybe next year.

That said, snow isn't everything. Mount Greylock, the highest point in Massachusetts, has been snow-free recently and the road is still closed to cars. This means epic bike rides, fast descents down both lanes, and extra gels stuffed into the seat bag.
