Skiing with Friends in Vermont

The Pergandes headed to Vermont after Christmas with our good friends the Haddons and the Rizzos for some fun skiing and to ring in the new year with good pals.

We skiied 2 days in the Stowe, the historic ski resort in the Northeast. The kids really progressed on the hills with Presley sticking to skiing and Canyon trying out Snowboarding for the first time.



Mom and Dad skiied with our pals while the kids were in ski school, checking out some great runs like Nosedive (where we lost Ron)!




We celebrated Mike's birthday at the "Shed" where we enjoyed Growlers to take home.


Stowe is just outside Burlington, which is a cool town in and of itself. We took some time off from skiing to check out the Ben and Jerry's factory tour (yummy) and the flagship Burton store (Jeff Burton started snowboarding at Stowe), where we outfitted Dad in some new sassy gear while Presley tried to pull out her loose tooth!




Our last scheduled day of skiing didn't happen because Vermont experienced some unseasonably warm weather. So the day after we returned from Vermont, we took the kids to local Buck Hill with some friends to get their skiing and snowboarding fix. Fun way to end a great vacation!
