Getting Ready...

I’m sitting here at my desk looking out the window at it r- ra- rai- rain… There, I said, the dreaded 4-letter word. I’m here at work on this Saturday, trying to get some things done as we have a busy week ahead: Bud the snow reporter comes back to work Monday, lift evacuation training is Tuesday, media party at the Boston Globe is Thursday, and the Boston Ski and Snowboard Expo starts Thursday and goes through Sunday at the Bayside Expo. All these things really mean that winter is coming upon u… Continue

"Smiles per Hour "

Favorite Trail ? That's an interesting question . Each trail as you know has it's own challenge and each trail gets the smiles per hour up . I'd like to share my favorite run , but it's not just one trail . It's one experience . I start at the Gondola then out the door at the summit , step into my bindings , point em down Exodus and slowly pick up speed , take a sharp right and launch onto Angel Street , no hanging around at the headwall , ski's leave the snow for a second and then hit the snow… Continue

Glad I joined The Loon Ning Community Website

I thought I would write a post to introduce myself here. My name is Bill and I have been skiing my entire life. 40 + years. New England has been my home most of my life. I lived everywhere between CT, NH, VT. My Summer base camp has been Cape Cod for the last 20 years with a few in VT. In the winter I mainly ride in Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire, but have been spending full seasons in Colorado at Vail lately. I ski well over a 100 days a year. I'm a ski bum what can I say. Many people ask… Continue

Trail Rides and Bucket Lists...

It is one year ago exactly I found myself in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho, preparing to cross off #6 on my Bucket List: I was bringing my grandparents ashes to the top of the 10,500-ft. Eagles Perch, to put them with their son’s ashes (my uncle Peter’s). As I was literally 100 feet away from the trail head to start my journey that morning, the US Forest Service came in and shut down all the canyons and trails within a three-mile radius, due to a rather large forest fire that unfortunately las… Continue

We're in full swing at Loon

If it was winter, I would be doing back flips with the amount of early-season precipitation we’ve received so far. However, I have to concede that it’s been a slow start to the summer because of the rain. Even though I’m a die-hard New Englander, and understand the saying, “If you don’t like the weather, stick around…” But seriously- it was starting to get depressing. The good news is that the weather pattern seems to be behind us now, and sunny skies are in the forecast. I had the opportunity… Continue

Summer Solstice...

Although it is the longest day of the year, it's always more than that to me. My Wife Vonni and I were Married on the Top of the Big Dipper Trail on June 21st. We celebrate this special day with friends and family, and remember fondly our trip to the summit on the Gondola. This year, we also have Fathers Day to honor our Father's and our children, so It's fitting to have so much to be thankful for on this one great day in June.

Horseback Riding returns to Loon for the summer.

I can’t believe there are only 10 more days until June 21. Not only is it my grandpa Ed’s 86th birthday, but also it’s the longest day of the year. The summer solstice! Plus it’s another indicator that our summer adventures will be starting up shortly! Opening Day is Saturday, June 27. Two big items to mention in this blog: We will once again have horseback riding . Kara and her crew are bringing over the horses next week to get them familiar with our stable area and the t… Continue

Thanks for a GREAT winter!

I’m sitting here at my desk looking at it snow outside my window. Yes… SNOW! OK, so there will probably not be any measured accumulation to report, but it is rather wild that two days ago it was in the mid-50s, and now for our last day of the season, it’s about 32 with flurries. I suppose this is one of the many reasons why I love working at Loon. There is never the same day. Two things that always amaze me: (1) How my 7 ½ year old daughter can all of a sudden outgrow her clothes, and I not not… Continue

Reflections

Yesterday, or only a day or two ago, so it seems, I was walking on bare ground across the lower portion of the Seven Brothers trail and the Loon Mountain park so I could get some photos of snowmaking underway on Lower Picked Rock. The ground was pretty much bare except where our snowmaking crews had been working. Still, the plan was to open for the season on November 22nd. Wouldn’t you know it, the night before the season opener, Mother Nature kicks in with two inches of snow, we’ve got eight tr… Continue

It's All Relative

45 degrees and sunny; how does that weather report affect our outdoor plans? Well, that all depends. If it’s the middle or end of summer, we react one way and if it’s towards the end of winter, we behave in yet another way. If we happen to be in Florida or the southwest for a break from the cold New England winter, we have an entirely different reaction. We just can’t seem to make up our minds! 45 degrees late in the summer or even early in the autumn brings out the sweaters and light jackets,… Continue
