Prospect Opens with More Snow than Davos, Switzerland

It's only November 21st but it already feels like the middle of winter! We all couldn't wait to get on snow, especially Marika, who wins the prize for first ski of the year:

The rest of us managed to contain our excitement until Friday, when we headed up to Prospect for the first proper ski of the season, which was lots and lots of fun.

Unfortunately, Prospect also claimed its first victim during our skate ski on Sunday:

As much as I miss the mountains at home, I do have to admit that the east coast is the place to be right now. Davos's 4km of snow farming can't quite compare to the fresh snow at Prospect this fall and especially not to the 28km open at Crafstbury right now!

Very thankful to be in Craftsbury with all of this amazing snow and skiing for Thanksgiving!
