Inspiring writing indeed! Hoping to move back to Maine and follow your lead on this. Skiing is so much more than just going down the hill (or around gates) Communities can come alive with a great little ski area to play on!

I especially loved the run down the back side in the pitch black under stars! The burgers after didn't hurt either. We will have to do it again next year.Deirdrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682816143095777663.post-22993454041906198022009-04-01T07:45:00.000-04:002009-04-01T07:45:00.000-04:00Not sure how "inspiring" we are, but we do have lots of fun together...<BR/><BR/>Ky, you are the bestest ski buddy ever, especially now that you actually let me stop for lunch!Samantha Warren Weddingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02599523726626983360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682816143095777663.post-46518937636844487992009-03-31T17:11:00.000-04:002009-03-31T17:11:00.000-04:00you guys are both incredible.

It has caused me to not be so pushy on the access roads and a little more observant at the base areas. This tour has caused me to realize that there is enough skiing out there for everyone and that without exception your local town hill provides every opportunity to be involved with the amazing, inspiring and life affirming ski lifestyle that a resort does. <BR/><BR/>Get out there and be part of your town hill and remember that after a 10 hour day at work, an hour commute in each direction with another hour and half drive in stop and go traffic in heavy snow heading north you can still get 3 blissful hour of powder skiing where every lift ride you are more jazzed than the last and when the liftie says, "That's it Buddy! Lifts Closed!" you are a better person than you were at the end of business! Go get 'em folks and have some great skiing this spring wherever there is some corn snow left to rip and be sure to thank the liftie, the lady at the lunch counter and chat with the patroller!<BR/><BR/>BTW Sam your writing is inspirations to say the least Darlin'! Thanks for being my best ski Buddy!Kylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682816143095777663.post-3769719466857603572009-03-31T04:55:00.000-04:002009-03-31T04:55:00.000-04:00This is the best most comprehensive listing of the "real" Maine Ski Scene... people all over the North East should read this just to get the inside scoop on homemade doughnuts, $1 Grilled Cheese, and deepest powder :) This ROCKS!
