It’s been really cold this week, giving me a new set of excuses to avoid the great outdoors. But my friend Michelle and I decided that, whatever temperature it was this morning, we would meet at the Intervale and “ski until we were just too miserable”. Happily, the miserable part never happened. Instead, we were reminded that there’s nothing like moving around to warm a person up.
The parking area was surprisingly full of cars when we arrived at 10 am, though we encountered only a handful of people on the trails. If you want the world’s most hassle-free cross country experience, this is your place. It’s free, flat and the trails are marked. You can ski along the Winooski River in parts, or pass by the farms that you visit at farmer’s markets in warmer months. It was a great morning and a great reminder that getting outside doesn’t have to be complicated; you just have to put on lots of layers and head outdoors.
