That's one Cold Mountain!


Mount Mansfield while -8F at the base

  1. Whoop for Dean! Not so much for weather so cold it turns lobsters blue.

    I just realized that the side of Mt. Mansfield aimed at you is a cirque, listener. That must have been quite a glacier once seated there.

    Very noticeable increase in range of motion and decrease in pain with only ten minutes each morning for three days of very easy pre-tai chi stretching exercises. Like magic, almost. Two instructional DVD's received.

    1. Yes! Some glacier indeed! I live in the town next to the town that is at the western base of Mount Mansfield, and my yard is all sand once you dig down about 15". This was the bottom of Lake Champlain, when it was formed from the melting glacier.

      Are you using the Tai Chi DVD's created by Dr. Wally Lamb, or which?

    2. Mansfield is a very old mountain, worn down by the ages. The Green Mountains (Appalachians) are rounder and shorter than the Rockies because they are so much older than the Rockies. Imagine Mansfield when it was still tall and pointed. It must have been huge!
