So very many traps—danger lurks everywhere.

There's the rat trap and the Havahart trap. The velvet trap and the parent trap. The Wolf Trap and the Trapp Family Singers.

Let’s be honest. New England can have a reputation for icy skiing. Anyone who grew up skiing in the east knows that’s true. And so is another rule: the farther northeast you go, the better the powder gets. This is no secret to backcountry skiers, who’ve schussed the slides of the Adirondacks, glades of Vermont, and bare summit cones and open bowls of New Hampshire for years.

I’m all in favor of multi-tasking, so it’s no wonder I enjoy hiking. I can exercise myself and my dogs, be outdoors, and socialize, all at the same time. Nothing like killing four birds with one stone!

In my Trailheads column in the August issue of Vermont Sports, I related the Vermont Mountain Bike Association’s (VMBA) success stories of developing riding opportunities on state land, but that wasn’t the end of the good news for 2008.
