First Day of December

Hello:

What great news: Skiing is excellent, lots of man made and I have about 8 inches on my lawn at my house. The mountain reports 24-40 inches of man made with over a foot of natural. I skiied four days last week, the most I have ever skiied in November. In fact the lifts at Spruce Peak were open on Saturday, November 29. I moved to Stowe 40 years ago this month and this is the first time I ever remember Spruce open in November. The temperature for this week is below freezing so the mountain will be pumping out the man made snow and all trails should be wild by the holidays.

Below are the events in town for this coming week, enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
