approach skis They are called approach skis and not a lot of companys make them. K2 used to but I dont think they do anymore. These guys make http://www.mtnapproach.com/them but they are pricey and come with a backpack that you probally dont want. Also the skins dont come off. I seriously...

my uncle lives in ellsworth nice scenery little depressed economically. Bar harbor is an awesome place but very expensive and isolated. If you enjoy isolation my folks love vacationing to winter harbor just north of Bar harbor

You should come next time Karl it was very fun!

I had a 4 week stretch on no hiking or snowboarding and I was starting to feel not like myself a 12 mile hike over cabot, horn and the bulge fixed that!!

And I know what you mean about mental therapy:D

Live free or Die (not soon) in NH Rickie I agree with Chip. Retiring to NH is a way lower cost option then our friends in the great state of Maine. Don't get me wrong Maine is an awesome place. They have nicer beaches and the farther north you go the nicer the folks get. Other than are...

I forgot about that I was there in prime ski season tons of powder and maybe 35 other skiers there on a saturday. Also nobody skis the glades they have.

Dont mistake the food in the lodge as being the same as the Hotel. The Ski lodge has the same run of the mill overpriced pub food same as every ski resort. If you stay in the hotel on the other hand food is incredible! I stayed at the Mount Washington 3 weeks ago and imo everything about it...

Its a very nice place the food is out of this world. this was the view from my room when I stayed there the room itself and the view from the front porch
