Today's pic was taken Sunday from the east side of the road and has the Worcester Range showing off in the late afternoon light.
 
We picked up some more snow since the last grooming and it's going to be a lovely day for skiing and snowshoeing with temps getting up to 27F. The PistenBully rides again today to set new tracks on all open trails and move around the manmade snow. The same trails as yesterday will be open, which is effectively the entire network minus lower Haul Road, Hare Line, Luce Trail, and Ayers Track. As always, take a look at the GPS-tracked grooming map and trail list here as you plan your outing. The upstairs retail area of the Outdoor Center is open 9AM to 5PM every day and the downstairs rental area is open 830AM to 5PM every day.
The Cabin is open for full service 10AM - 330PM and will be serving up hot soup, hot drinks, and tasty baked goods from the Kaffeehaus. Cabin Phil will be greeting you today and offering three different soups to be named later. Reminder that the Cabin is cash only.
 
A recent post on LoveFood.com listed 'The Most Fascinating Restaurant in Every State' and included the most iconic spots in all 50 states, like Katz's Deli in New York, Commander's Palace in Louisiana, and lots of other interesting places. Vermont has tons of great restaurants so we were surprised and proud to scroll down and find, you guessed it, Slayton Pasture Cabin as the winner for Vermont. Go see and taste for yourself, if you have not made it up there yet! Full list here.
