A Christmas Day walk in Stowe, VT.  Christmas this year dawned bright, sunny, and not exceptionally cold – the perfect conditions for a midday walk.  Unfortunately, even up in the mountains, there was not enough snow on the ground to justify the breaking out of the snowshoes.  I’ll have to give it a few more weeks, although, I did see some snowshoeing going on at the Trapp Family Lodge.  I enjoyed watching them rambling along from the windows of the new Trapp Brewery complex.  A good way to pass a Christmas (or any) afternoon – a brisk walk through the snow followed by a pint of craft brew.  Cheers!
