Was in Stowe, VT at a conference for a few days this week and XC skied at the Trapp Family Lodge today before driving home. There had been a few inches of new snow overnight so the conditions were excellent; I skied out to the cabin where you can get lunch and the place was packed (word to the wise: try to do that trip on a weekday and not a weekend, especially if you really don't like crowds). Going to the cabin is a workout--lots of uphill! Coming down from the cabin was a little sketchy in a couple of places where it was a steep downhill (I ate snow a few times), but mostly pretty good. I think the route I took coming back down was probably the most gradual downhill there was.
