Cochran's and Bolton are both functional ski areas and thus ineligible.
A) No one goes to them.Cochran's and Bolton are both functional ski areas and thus ineligible.
We don't need more than an hour at Cochran's.
I'd be very surprised if you could get there that quickly.
We can do the Balsams in between. I think one of Ascutney's lifts is there now. Or at least, was there.
@Erik Timmerman , didn't you and your daughter take the Google Maps time between Stowe and Sugarloaf as some kind of personal challenge last winter? How long was that?
Again according to Google Maps, adding the Balsams doesn't really add much time to the Ascutney / Saddleback drive... assuming your car survives the potholes.
Plus the frost heaves everywhere. They basically destroyed the NH state symbol, the Old Man in the Mountain.I think it took about 4 hours. Four hours of pot hole slalom.
Rumors flying tonight about a closed deal.
2021 New England Gathering?
This is happy news! If/when the lifts start spinning again at Saddleback, probably not this season, I am going to make it a point to check it out. Looking at the trail map it looks like there is some pretty neat terrain. Not that this would generate revenue for the resort, but I am also interested in hiking the exposed ridge line along the AT sometime in the summer.
