Stay Thirsty My Friends

My wife and I ski'd up and down the border looking for the boundary stone and gave up deciding to take pictures by the plastic boundary sign. As I was stamping down a place to take the photo I hit the boundary stone which was buried in snow - a lucky end to the trip ;).

We did it!

I say "we" because while I did the skiing, a lot of people helped make my adventure successful.

Thanks to Amy Kelsey and the Catamount Trail Association, the Trail Chiefs, and all of the volunteers who set up and maintain the trails. You made my journey possible.

To all the innkeepers and others who provided rides to/from the trail: you enabled me to ski the entire trail inn to inn.

Finally, thanks to my family for allowing me to indulge myself. Without your enthusiastic support, I wouldn't have taken up this adventure. 

I'm so glad I decided to take this trip. The challenge, the wilderness skiing, seeing winter wildlife/tracks, traveling inn to inn, meeting so many interesting people, overcoming some adversity, and not knowing what trail conditions I would face on a given day (the need for contingency planning) all added to the enjoyment of the trip.
