$42 Tickets at Killington
Hot off my email inbox… If you ask me, $42 for a day of skiing at Killington is sweet. And, fresh snow is very sweet too. So, go get both now (or fresh snow now and a ticket deal starting Feb. 23). KILLINGTON, Vt. (February 20, 2009) — Vermont’s Killington Resort, the largest ski and […]

Waiting in the Singles Line
My parents met in a lift line at Stowe Mountain. I know they are not the only people who fell in love at a ski resort. In fact, my brother and his wife first set eyes on one another during a pre-season ski patrol meeting at Sugarbush, VT. And my boyfriend’s sister met her husband […]

Winter Sports and Love
A good friend of mine met her husband online. It’s a great twenty-first century sort of love story because not only did they meet online, fall in love and get married, but both of their respective exes, ex-wife and ex-boyfriend, met online, fell in love and got married to each other. Instead of Wife Swap, […]

A Relaxing Vacation
With a week and a half off to play, I hoped to trek across New England and ski so hard that by the end of each day all I could manage was an apr

Winter is Here
I am suffering from a tad bit of ski blogger writer’s block because I am conflicted by my feelings. I am so excited by the start of winter 2008 – 2009. The ground is covered with snow and the mountains are in great shape (yahoo!!). However, some of my co-workers at Yankee are without power […]

Skiing Maine: 17 Mountains
The invitation was irresistible: join Ski Maine executive director Greg Sweetser as part of a team of eight with the goal of hitting all of the Pine Tree State’s 17 ski mountains in a single long weekend last January. I agreed as soon as I was asked. We’d travel more than 1,000 miles, with time […]

Blog Reader Alert – Attention/Achtung/Attenzione/Faites Attention: For those who cannot make it through an entire New England Outdoor Adventure post, first, I am sorry since I try my best to be engaging and make you want to read to the end. However, I also realize that things happen and sometimes you just need to stop […]

Making a Marathon Green
One of the things I notice often when I go for a run is litter. I’ve bored many friends with my concept for a Dunkin Donuts anti-littering education campaign inspired by the countless discarded coffee cups on the side of roads. When I was little, I considered litterbugs to be very bad people. Now, I […]

A Fall Trail Run
There are people who hike year-round. I am not one of those people. For me, fall is the perfect time to hike. Actually, the fall before hunting season is the perfect time to hike. And, just to clear things up, snowshoeing up hiking trails in the winter, in my opinion, is snowshoeing, not hiking, otherwise […]

Summer Adventures Are Not Over Yet
Summer always goes by in a flash. This summer is no exception and I have some solid proof. My last blog entry was on August 1, 2008. Now it is the final week of August and this weekend is Labor Day weekend. Yesterday I went for a run around 7:30 p.m. and it was getting […]

Vacation
Even an outdoor adventure blogger needs to go on vacation every now and then. I am planning on swimming, running, sailing my Sunfish, kayaking, reading and hammocking every day. Anyway, if you are wondering where I am or what is up, that is it.
