After work today (1600), I drove to Woodstock (VT) to participate in a Torchlight Snowshoe at the Billings Farm! I'd found out beforehand that I could ski so I showed up prepared for the excellent grooming they did in preparation for the event. Unlike what I'd seen in Hanover, Woodstock had the perfect blend of freeze/snow and the surface was perfect! As one of the few skiers, I made six laps (three miles) of the trail while most folks (especially those with you children) only made one. Each time around, it got progressively darker until I fell on the last lap. Still, with clear skies, temps in the low 30s and some helpful tiki torches, I had a great time during my 90 minutes on skis. Topped off my evening with s’mores and hot chocolate. Afterwards (1830), I drove home (arrived at 1900). What a great evening - life is good!
