Vermont at its finest...

This is why we came back to Vermont for a couple of months. The ice on Mallets Bay was just about as fine as it gets. Bette and I headed out for a fine day of skating using our Nordic skates. These are blades that attach to our xc skate boots and hinge similar to xc skis but not exactly the same. They do stay pretty nicely on the ice and together with poles allows for some great distances covered. We are enjoying the current weather but thoughts are definitely ramping up for our return to the boat in about 2 weeks.
