I was recently in Stowe,Vermont for a work related function. I will spare you the details of the amazing flight thru numerous thunderstorms that hit most of the East coast last week since it was well worth it. I stayed at the Stowe Mountain Lodge. There is still snow on the mountains, 30 inches to be exact in some areas, and they were skiing about 2 weeks ago. It was a lovely and sunny with a temperatures in the 70's,so I took a nice hike around the property. Some snow and blue sky. The chair lift was not running but I am sure it would have provided wonderful views and photos. Part of the giant wheel that keeps the chair lift moving all winter. I love the color,design and my attempt at an art photo. View from Nosedive Village. Stones in waiting to be used in some new Villa construction. View of the Winter Cottage/Golf Club. Stowe is very charming and much like a little Swiss village in the mountains and so much more beautiful then photos can express. Enjoy!
