SPAM #6: The Hunt for the Red And White October

To round out our coverage of the October Nor’easter as it affected points north of Vermont Route 125, we present another installment in our SPAM Series. This week you get two for the price of one (too)! Technically we said this series was supposed to build up to the ski season, and I guess that might have therefore meant that it was supposed to stop when we got there. Well guess what: SURPRISE, we’re going to keep the SPAM Series rolling right on into winter! Not only do we have a bunch more nifty Skiing Photos AMalgamated for you (and your desktop wallpaper), but it turns out our recent Fall Skiing Trip Report gave us some fresh SPAM as well! Yum.

Anyway, if you read the TR, you already know we went from low to high in search of fall schuss. In fact, we went as high as we can go here in Vermont this past weekend. I think it comes as no surprise then when I say that the scenery was pretty agreeable to wide-angle panoramic action photos.

The first shot is from a snowfield that grew on the very tippy top of Vermont thanks to the strong winds of the record-breaking Nor’easter. In order to even access this snowfield though we had to put up with over an hour of schwacking and post-holing our way up a miserable gully that had much less snow than we’re accustomed to. “Post-holing” might be too nice a word for what occurred. I think “well-drilling” might be more accurate. The picture of Christian on page 3 of the TR looking up as if from a hole was not a pleasant moment. This is because he is–in fact–in a hole. You can therefore imagine how nice of a sight this snowfield was for a well-driller’s eyes. We couldn’t let it go unschussed.
