Von Trapp World Tour

It finally snowed enough to be able to cross country ski within driving distance (although we will have to drive greater than 4 hours). It has been a really lean year for snow in the entire Northeast as you have heard me complain repeatedly. We were going to leave last night, but the high in most of Vermont today is merely -8 with a low of -25 (not including windchill). We will head up tonight since tommorrow will be a balmy 17! I am thinking that we will go to Stowe since it is the closest place with a lot of snow. I am also excited since we can go skiing at the Von Trapp family lodge! I missed their family house when I was in Austria (did not want to subject Mike and Kevin to my little fantasy), so I have some make up to do. I did twirl in circles on a moutainside in Austria and sang the "Sound of Music" when I was there so I was not completely deprived. I would like to visit Austria again sometime. We have some great fun and Kaiserschmarren! We even stayed at a guesthouse that had a Marmot living inside (We had to keep our feet off of the floor to avoid ankle bites!) Maybe I should make myself a dress out of drapes to ski in! By the way, I still want to go to the Sound of Music sing along in the city. Anyone in?
