Monday’s Quick Hits
Do you want to Ski for FREE?
Thought that might grab your attention. Here are some quick hits to get the week started, including how to get free lift tickets to Sunday River, ME.
How bout this weather. I have not had to turn the heat on once yet this fall and it is almost December. A glance at the forecasting for this week and consensus is that we should see some precipitation out of a weekend system. Will the cold air be along for the ride? We can only cross the fingers and hope.

In spite of an utterly uncooperative stance from Mother Nature there are still quite a few ski areas across the New England region spinning their chairlifts. For the latest check this LINK.
Tip: The Mountains that are open should be offering discounted lift ticket prices, check their websites.

For me it is enjoyable to read about weather specifically targeting ski areas.
FREE LIFT TICKETS!
This coming Sunday (12/03/06) all you have to do to earn free lift tickets at Sunday River is dress up like Santa Clause and my a tax deductible donation to charity.
