Last weekend the Williams Ski team was lucky enough to stay at the Jones' Vermont house, tucked into the lovely green mountains of Stratton.
The weekend began with an evening hike up Bromley. After summiting and enjoying a beautiful sunset, we hopped on some alpine slides to carry us down the mountain. That night, we played Scatergories around a cozy wood fire where we all got a glimpse of Phil's stellar acting abilities.

Saturday morning we awoke to heavy rain. Luckily (depending of your perspective), it parted just in time for us to squeeze in a TT up Stratton Mountain. Everyone put in a hard effort, but was very happy to eat a scrumptious home-cooked lunch when we got home. We rounded out the day with a classic roll in the afternoon. In the evening, we a made a roaring bonfire. A nearby wedding provided us with a firework display and weirdly enough one of the wedding guests was Andy Newell. We all introduced ourselves and mingled with him for a while.
The fire!
Sunday morning we went on a classic roll and run combo OD around and up the backside of Stratton. It was a bit wet and cold, but we managed to stay happy athletes, part due to tasty apples we picked on the side of the trail.In the afternoon we packed up two very squeezed cars and headed back to campus. Much thanks to the Jones family for an amazing weekend!!!!!!!
