Yeah, I learned how to ski on the East Coast and West Coast skiing is so much better! We were at "Dodge Ridge," which is on the west side of the Sierras and which I'd never heard of before -- it's a small place, good for kids and inexperienced skiers such as myself :) (I can get down easy blues.) I also once skied in Utah and it was lovely! Were you in Vermont for some other reason? (I assume you weren't there just for the skiing?)

The Christmas service sounds lovely <3
