snowshoeing on New Year's eve

While John was cross country skiing,


 I enjoyed snowshoeing.
 
 
 
 
I had a blast. I'm 9 month pregnant, the meadow is flat so no impact, perfect aerobic exercise while enjoying views and the cool air. It was great !

Snowman

Yesterday it snowed about 10".
So I've decided to do a snowman, which I haven't done for a long long time. 
 
I let my inspiration flow, and I end up doing a snowman which looks like more than stupa than anything else ;-)

Merry Christmas 2012

 
 
MERRY CHRISTMAS
 



Our Christmas tree is really nice.
Thanks to John's Christmas ornaments. They are so cute.
They represent various sports that we do and love
(e.g. a rock climbing shoe, a backpack, a snowshoe, a kayak .... )

Labor Day - Hike to Mount Mansfield

Happy Labor Day


It is the first time that I go to a ski resort during the summer when there is no snow.  It is surprisingly extremely enjoyable.
Between hiking, mountain biking for John and Spa for me in the afternoon, we had an excellent time. I'm almost 6 months so I can still enjoy easy hikes ;-)

 

Day 1, we hiked along a ski slope for few hours. We enjoyed a nice clear weather. It was very pretty  



Day 2, we hiked up from the bottom of the Stowe's ski resort to the top of Mount Mansfield, highest peak in Vermont. Both days were amazing !

Rocky section. Nothing major but John as to carry our dog ;-)

View on the way up to Mount Mansfield - Breathtaking


The panoramic view at the top of Mount Mansfield is outstanding.
At my left: I could see the Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks
And at my right: I could the Mount Washington, its top in the cloud

We start our hike to Mount Madison by walking few hours in the forest. The forest is very green, full of vegetation, it is very enjoyable ;-)  
!Watch out for bears!




The terrain is moderate with some rocky steep sections
