Some recent photos check it out...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a shot of Mount Snow from our house. The sky looks delicious. Doh!

Weather is getting nice out, time to skate outdoors. Been shredding the park. Switch nose slide the rail.
Epic snowstorm. This photo says it all. That's from when we got 4 feet of snow in one storm."I am an Owl." (taken near our house) Owls > all other animals.

Danielle and I took a 50 mile snowmobile ride last month in Craftsbury Vermont. Super nice day out. We saw a leprechaun.

At the Hermitage Inn - We snowmobiled there for Kate and Ryan's 10 year anniversary but were a little early. Evidentally this area is the color blue.

Skiing in Smuggler Notch this winter...

My skis are older than Stonehenge

Catamount Trail - I've skied 1/4th of it so far. This is from when we arrived back at dusk.

ATTN FAMILY & FRIENDS: MEET YOUR HOLIDAY PRESENTS

This year's sugaring season was a big success. We're all done for the season now. Check out the photo of what we made this year. 7 Gallons. All I have to say is come Black Friday I'm going to be sitting back, relaxing and doing nothing! :) In other news, Mount Snow is closing this weekend - I just got back from the mountain. Today was my 55th day out skiing this year. Not too shabby! It's been an awesome winter. Take care, Spencer.

MAPLE SUGARING - PURE VERMONT MAPLE SYRUP AT CRISPE SUGARING HEADQUARTERS

We have up 27 buckets this year. We keep expanding our sugaring operation. Pretty sweet (pun intended!) Mom and I have been busy boiling with the new Leader evaporator in the sugar house until the wee hours of the morning. Last night we made what you see in the above photo - that's a lot of Maple syrup. 5 quarts and 3 half gallons. Grade A medium amber. Get ready for your Christmas presents!! Had some Eggo waffles the other day and the syrup tastes really good. Boiling again all day on Sunday. The sugarhouse smells awesome with the aroma of maple everywhere. Snowed last night which made everything even better.
