Oh yeah, pack your chapstick too! Have fun! Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Thu, 17 Jan 2008 19:59:43 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/blogs/skiblog/17mountains I took a day off yesterday (Thursday) and went with my two college aged sons to Mount Sunapee. I always tell people "go midweek-it's like having the mountain to yourself"--and to my surprise when we arrived cars were already filling the second lot. We New Englanders are hungry for snow days on the slopes because of the past few winters. My eldest son kept saying to me "why are you smiling"--because I was. The whole day. If you are a parent reading this, you will understand. When you've spent as many days and hundreds of hours skiing with your kids, watching them grow, and seeing them become super skiers and then they go away--in my case one to California, the other to Connecticut, a day stolen from work to ski together is like a gift. So sure I was smiling--- Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Fri, 18 Jan 2008 20:06:29 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/blogs/skiblog/17mountains I think this is the coolest thing- Maine peak to peak- a wrap up of the high points of the state (get it- hah ha). I have only ever skied Sugarloaf- and super icy cold spring conditions, and Sunday River. But I would love to hear about the less traveled, more secret stashes of maine.
