Awesome John.....today once the clouds left looks like a lot of snow on the upper part of LP as well.

Nice work John. Nothing stokes the 'ol fires like pure straight up high grade envy.

Meeting up with our neighbors in the base area. Hi Brian and Emily! It was such a surprise to see them here. Not.

And it was also our first double endorphin day of the fall!

Riding in Moretown to finish the day. If you know the trails, they are actually in pretty good condition right now. Some of the Mad RIver Riders are planning to rake a bit soon too. Look for updates on which trails get attention.

Have fun!
