Sadly, I was unable to get a picture but I will post one below for visual reference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutbirds.org\/guide\/assets\/photo\/303454471-480px.jpg\" alt=\"Bicknell's Thrush Identification, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of  Ornithology\" \/><figcaption>Bicknell Thrush Songbird<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the intense storms that came with the winter, along with a snow squall while I was visiting, the woody trees and shrubs handle a great toll in the winter months, but they most certainly know how to flourish regardless of the weather. I was able to see the vast blend of pines, ash, maples, and birch trees on my lift up to the top of the mountain while I was out snowboarding. Despite the deforestation and tourism that WVV is a culprit of, the woody species that remain continue to do very well in their environment, and WVV has a great range of diversity within its ecosystem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG-6917-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12\" width=\"434\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG-6917-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG-6917-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG-6917-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG-6917-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG-6917-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG-6917-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 434px) 100vw, 434px\" \/><figcaption>Ski Lift at WVV Ski Resort &#8211; Right down the street form my sister&#8217;s house!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG-6918-615x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15\" width=\"418\" height=\"696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG-6918-615x1024.jpg 615w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG-6918-180x300.jpg 180w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG-6918-768x1279.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/claforte-13\/files\/2022\/03\/IMG-6918.jpg 828w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 418px) 100vw, 418px\" \/><figcaption>Me and my girlfriend snowboarding!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Waterville Valley is a place that my family visits frequently, and I am now more interested to see the changes in the environment over the next few years.
