After a 55 degree couple days here in VT, winter returned. Cars were able to be washed in that short window, but thats about it. Today: 15, windy, snow squalls- where you needed full coverage including googles, neck gators and it's still hard to see. Surface was hardpack with an inch or two on top creating some serious speed but nice slowdown in the flats, where it was a bit deeper. We witnessed a lady from a group of red plastic sledders fly off the trail, nearly hit a tree but stopped with a leg out front (thus spraining her knee). We were not unscathed with a sprained thumb from the rutty trail. All in all a typical dog-tiring, day. We ended it with a stop to the local dive then to a woodstoved house for some more serious veggy nachos and a Magic Hat Variety pak.
Bruce cuttin it around the final turn. We probably hit 34mph or so.
