Winter Wonderland

Despite the lack of snow (so far, we'll get to that later), the ski resorts of interest are operating at close to 100 percent. It hasn't been falling from the sky, but they have been blasting it from the guns. As of Sunday, Attitash had 64 trails open, Sunday River had 115, Black had 40 and Cranmore had 44. Some of you might be asking "Who cares about Black and Cranmore?" Well, part of the reason for renting for a week is so we can ski more, and those are two of the mountains we're looking to fit in early in the week. I like the Black option because tickets are just $25 on liftopia and they have a deal where you can ski for free after 2 p.m. if you buy a ticket for the next day. This is what we're considering for Monday/Tuesday for anyone coming up then. And the bonus is it looks like we will be getting snow up there early that week. I checked the 10-day forecast today and it called for snow showers on Feb. 6 & 7. Of course that's 10 days away, so who knows? But it's good to see some forecast calling for snow, and maybe it will develop into something more significant. Wouldn't that be grand! There are also some snow showers expected tis week, so, things are looking pretty good. Can't wait to see you all!
