TR: The (Other) Stowe Derby (3/2/10 Updated with more pictures!)

March 2, 2010 10:56 am | Category: Full Trip Report | Permalink

This weekend was the venerable Stowe Derby: A race from near the summit of Mount Mansfield, Vermont all the way down to the town of Stowe. Needless to say, each and every one of the Famous Internet Skiers was eager to participate, but unfortunately none of us owned cross country or telemark skis. Since we didn’t want to make a fool of ourselves in the actual event, we decided that we would run our own private race just before the official race instead.

Just a quick report from today. Nothing really all that exciting… we just went out and did a little recon for one of our favorite cliff bands, and were glad to discover that it’s ready to go next snow fall–so stay tuned.

No offense to the blind, but I might as well have been using the Braille system to ski today; I couldn’t see anything.

Christian knows the cliff band is out here somewhere… now if only we could see more than 2 meters maybe we could find it.
