Bert’s Crown is a rocky knob above the Camel’s Hump Nordic center. I’d never climbed to the top of it before, so decided to give it a try this morning. It was a bit of a scramble, but I was rewarded by a stunning view!

Robin & I enjoyed a fine day of skiing up at Craftsbury Outdoor Center yesterday. The ample sunshine and soft spring conditions made for wonderful skiing. I’m always stuck, when traveling through the Northeast Kingdom, how different the landscape is from our neck of the woods here in Huntington.
