Yesterday was a fun day in the park at Stowe. The sun brought out a good crowd of both hucksters and onlookers in the terrain park at Mansfield.

Owl sighting

"I took these two pictures on the front lawn of our apartment on Worcester Loop Rd. in Stowe last night (April 1st) between 7:00 and 7:30 p.m. Right after I took the pictures I managed to get video of the owl swooping in and grabbing something off the lawn and flying away. The owl did come back, he seemed to be hopping around the lawn looking for something. I was about four or five feet away when I took the video and one of the pictures. The owl did not appear to be threatened by me at all." - Daniel Emerson

Ross wins at nationals

Lauren Ross, of Stowe, stands atop the podium at U.S. Alpine National Championships in Sugarloaf, Maine on Wednesday afternoon.
Ross came from fifth place after the first run to win her first championship title at age 26.
She grew up skiing in her backyard atop West Hill and raced for the Mount Mansfield Ski and Snowboard Club before making the U.S. Ski Team. Ross scored her first World cup points in 2005 and missed all of last season due to a torn knee ligament. The championship win, she said, was the perfect way to end the racing season.
Also pictured are Laurenne Ross (no relation) who placed second and Libby Ludlow in third.
