The Skiing Magazine Reader Awards has named Stowe the number one resort in the east for the 2009-2010 winter season.

Northern New England has had a slow start to the ski season, but things are changing. New England experienced a Nor-Easter on Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving. The result was lots of rain and wind for everyone south.
Up in the mountains above 2000ft was another story. Some resort received 12 to 18 inches. One of these resorts was Brettonwoods. Part of the Mount Washington Resort Brettonwoods was able to open as many as 27 trails over the weekend.
Skiers and Snowboarders access is provided by the Bethlehem Express Quad and the Learning Center Quad. Ungroomed trails are considered expert terrain with variable snow conditions and open water bars. Lift tickets are $39 for adults and $29 for Teens and Juniors.

After a dry spell snow has arrived in the mountains of Maine. Sugarloaf USA recieved 12 inches of the white stuff. Along with snow making the mountain was ready to open.
There was quite a crew of hardcore Sugarloafers hitting the slopes November 29, 2009 even if it was pretty rugged. The guns were running on Upper mountain for most of the day but due to warming temperatures won't be back in action until after 8 at night. The mountain will be open for expert skiers with several more openings including King's Landing, Candyside, Scoot, Windrow and Glancer. Tickets are $25. An Opening Day video is on its way so stay tuned!

The extended forecast looks good for continued snowmaking straight through the week, so expect conditions to improve and terrain to expand.
