Vermont is still exciting. Nick and I slept in and then we went to Stowe. I have never worn so many layers of clothes in preparation for teh frigid cold (possibly only a high in the single digits). Usually when I ski, I wear: ski socks, silk long underwear pants and shirt, ski pants, a turtle neck and either just a waterproof shell of a jacket or fleece + shell, gloves, neck warmer, and headband.

Today I added to that: an extra lining pant between the ski pants and long underwear, and extra sweater, thin glove liners, goggles and a hat.

As it turns out, the weather was very hospitable, the sun was out, and the mountain was in great shape (the most snow I've seen at Stowe in a long time).

Afterwards we stopped at Cabbot's and FEASTED on all the different varieties of cheddar cheese samples. I love cheddar cheese! My favorite was horseradish cheddar, 5 pepper cheddar, and of course, the original extra sharp cheddar. Yum yum yum.

After a lovely shower, I am sitting here waiting for pizza delivery. I'm enjoying being lazy, I think Nick is trying to decide between also being a vegetable and going to a party at his fraternity. I am beginning to understand why Georgia Tech beat BYU (the MORMON college) out for "Most Stone-Cold-Sober Campus" with the Princeton Review.

Anyway, here are some photos:
