Agenda : Antony Crook / The Land at Nepenthes.

Agenda : US Open, Stratton Mtn, VT.

This coming week, March 7th-13th, marks the 29th annual US Open at Stratton in Winhall, Vermont. A relatively easy 3 1/2 hours from the city, if you're at all inclined, make the trip. Aside from the Spring-like conditions, it's a hell of a time and a great way to close out your season. (Pour a little Long Trail out at the Griz for me.)
