On May 29, the 33rd season of mountain biking begins at Mt. Snow, making it one of the oldest bike parks in North America. The park has 10 trails served by lifts, with a variety of cross-country, downhill, freeride and mixed-use terrain. The total vertical gain in altitude is 1,000 feet.
Mt. Snow also offers the First Lift and First Drop programs, clinics to introduce riders to the sport of downhill mountain biking, and help them develop their skills.
The Bluebird Express, a chairlift to the summit of Mt. Snow, also begins on May 29, with views of Somerset Reservoir, Mt. Monadnock and sometimes even Mt. Washington.
Travel with a Local: Ludlow, Vermont
A dreamy ski town
Why should we visit your town/city?
My husband and I have been lucky enough to reside in the lower apartment of his family’s little ski home in Ludlow, Vermont for the first few months of our newlywed life. Before we were engaged, my husband (who was a ski racer in high school) taught me the basics of skiing, and since we’ve been up here we’ve skied almost every weekend since!
The town of Ludlow and its incorporated village is a charming, historical locale nestled in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Drawing thousands of skiers and snowboarders to its main mountain, Okemo (which, depending on which Native American language you consult, means “All Come Home,” “Chieftain,” or “louse”). Each winter, and especially during the peak months of January and February, you can be sure of breathtaking mountain views and a substantial, persistent blanket of snow.

Every week, Chica & the Bald Guy search the Shreveport/Bossier City area (commonly referred to as the SBC) for your favorite teacher. Every single person who chooses the teaching lifestyle does so knowing that they will most likely
never get rich for it. The fearless men and women that face a class full (or more) of our kids day in and day out deserve much more than they get -
especially now.
Teachers had to find some way to continue teaching our (and their own) kids, and they did it. Without knowing how, they figured it out. That is a bonafide miracle when you consider that a lot of us can t wrap our heads around it enough to help them! Now that classes are back in session, and adding distance learning to the mix - we re asking more from these teachers than ever. That s why it s more important that ever that we recognize their passion and dedication.
