I've spent the last two days hiking and skiing Snow Valley, an abandoned resort between Manchester and Stratton Vermont. A friend of mine showed me the place and I see lots of opportunities for good skiing here in the next couple of months. I think keeping on my feet hiking every day will put me in good shape to ski Tuckerman's Ravine this April (and maybe May), and have gotten back to doing outdoor sports every day. Its a little lonely up here in VT, but not nearly as bad as I had anticipated. I'm loving the time off, am putting in a lot of hours studying, and am going to be making trips to Burlington, Montreal, New York, and Boston starting this weekend. I've also just started my second read of 2666, Roberto Bolano's massive tome about the human condition. Should be some good beach reading!
Keep in touch,
