UVM Winter Carnival, Eastern Cup, Super Tour 2016

There’s still almost no snow in northern New England but the combined University of Vermont Winter Carnival collegiate, Eastern Cup and Super Tour races went off at Craftsbury Outdoor Center over the weekend, where they were moved after the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe lost its snow in last week’s rain. Competition was held on one of the few remaining snowy spots in northern Vermont, most of it on manmade snow. Snow has become precious enough (and reused enough) this winter that you have to wipe the dirt off your feet before entering (see photo below). For a gallery/slide show, click here.
