activity going on here at the pond, even this time of the year. We don't have a lot of ice fishing shantys out there yet, but usually a few more appear on the weekend. Diane took this picture of a fisherman in front of Kyle Brown's.Now Bill is retired, they are able to ski on nice days during the week if they want to. They went yesterday (Saturday) and met friends for breakfast at the Miss Lyndonville Diner.
On the left is Mario Bonacorsi, then Butch Churchill, and Bill.
Conditions have been good at Burke - lots of snow and well groomed. It's been a little cold, and in spite of the sunshine, it will be cold on the mountain today. Our temperature here is two above outside my window (not in the sun) and there is a slight breeze which will put the wind chill around -10. That won't stop dedicated skiers, though. And it might be warmer on the mountain. Sometimes that happens, but you can bet there's going to be more "breeze" at the top.
That's Bill at the base lodge at Burke Mountain. Below are Bill and Diane before taking a run. Look at that view towards Willoughby Lake! You can see almost to Newport! That's Mt. Pisgah, the big hump on the right, and the smaller one left of it is Mt. Hor. These peaks are on either side of Willoughby Lake in Westmore. Crystal Lake is a bit to the left, but you can't actually see it, either, and it doesn't have any identifying mountains nearby to locate it. You can see there's a valley to the left of Mt. Hor and another small mountain begins, and that's where Crystal Lake is, parallel to Willoughby Lake. Thanks, Diane, for the great pictures.
