Re: It's Here!!!

...I love your "Trix cereal" description!

Thankful that we who were there were all so fortunate.

Re: First time in Vermont - Killington Oct 3rd thru 6th

amsy82, I wouldn't worry too much about the colors disappearing! Was just on I-89 between Montpelier and Sunapee, NH yesterday (Oct. 1), and can tell you that-- although there are definitely ribbons/ bands of peak and just-past-peak colors-- there are also MANY locations with near-peak and peak colo...

Re: Weird season - my thoughts

Hey there Snowboarder, While I empathize with some of your observations, I think you might be tacking a little "hard" on Mother Nature. I'm kinda with wxman1976, ctyanky and mmvt: You gotta have some perspective over the seasons, and appreciate what is there. I've been a life-long New Englander, wit...

Re: Lovely Jay Peak - Stabs and Bursts of Color

If you're driving, you can take the toll road to the top... and if you can stomach it, walk to the top of the old fire tower for truly mind-blowing vistas! I went again this past Saturday, and it was quit...

Lovely Jay Peak - Stabs and Bursts of Color

Just spent the weekend at Jay Peak-- Although green still predominates by far, there are stunning stabs-here, explosions-there of yellows from brown mustard to lemon-lime, reds from candy-apple to faded burgundy, oranges from fire-flame to pastel-peach, burnt siennas, on and on... some billowing aro...
