Photo(s) of the Week: Thanks Mom!

Off Piste in Northern New Hampshire
Blue skies, calm winds, and a recent dusting of snow lured us to the high country of northern New Hampshire earlier this week.

It was really nice to see Old Man Winter again on Monday. We found him high above Vermont’s Mad River Valley, getting ready to set off again after a nice weekend in the mountains. He left us a good blanket of snow to enjoy, and he hinted that he would likely be back again soon [...]
