Giving thanks for snow at Craftsbury

I admit, I am a pessimist. Global warming is probably real, and it messes with one of my favorite things in the world: snow.

So when Craftsbury got a good dose of fresh snow, I was pleasantly surprised. And thankful for all those surprises. None of us thought we would have spectacular skiing off the manmade course when we showed up to a not-quite-white, root-and-gravel infested 1.5 km loop. But mother nature gave us a little dose of change, which turned into a little taste of real winter.

Not that I don't like a nicely-prepared, pisten bully groomed track, but the freedom to rip around trails, get lost in the woods, and let your thoughts flow free is priceless.
