Skiing with Melissa and Jim

Two weeks ago we went to Vermont with Jim and Melissa. The professor we are both working for allowed us to stay in his house there which is a wonderful place with a view of a nearby frozen river. Being in Vermont I felt like in another country. First it was snowy. There was a 10” snow at village we stayed in and it was still snowy. In Boston it was hardly raining with only remains of snow and the temperature was much higher. Second the village atmosphere was a big change from the city life and even people seemed to go in a different pace. It is very nice to have that kind of atmosphere change once in a while (especially when it is that close).

The day after arrival we spent at Sugarbush ski resort. The weather was great with fresh snow keep purring all day. The resort is big and we got to use one of the longest lifts I ever used. It was more then 2 miles long, the ride took 14 minutes and there were 3 climbing parts and 2 downhill parts (we crossed 2 mountains on the way). It is currently one of my top picks for ski resorts North America.


BTW: I added a picture of me doing a ski jump. It is from a different ski resort but I just thought it is a cool picture.
