snowshoeing

 

The Von Trapp Family Lodge is noted for its cross-country skiing.  Although the season was ending, many were still on the trails.  As novice snowshoers, we trekked to the sugar house to observe the maple syrup process.  The elevation of these Vermont mountains is 1200 feet; difficult to contemplate when the official elevation of Lubbock is 3,256 feet above sea level -- and we had snow today -- in April!
