Living in Connecticut offers the ability to reach a wide variety of places within a quick car ride. We like to take advantage of this by visiting places like lakes in upstate New York, the beaches in Maine or Rhode Island and skiing in Vermont.
#2 and I got up early last Saturday and ran up to Stratton, Vermont to ski for the day. He has really gotten into skiing this year and thought it was awesome that we could wake up and be on the slopes just after the lifts started turning at 9:00am.
It was a tad cold and he only wanted to ride the gondola to the top each time so that we could ski top to bottom on his favorite run. That kept our total run count down but we had a blast nonetheless.
Stratton is a great place to ski and it also offers a nice little village where you can eat and shop should you need a break. We certainly had a great time and appreciate that we could run up there for the day. I know #2 wants to go back as soon as this weekend!
