Wow, That was Fast…
November is in the rear view mirror and December is not slowing down! This time of year always seems to move so quickly with all the holidays and activities with friends and family; And of course the excitement of getting back onto the snow in western Maine. Ski conditions at Sunday River really are getting better every day; South Ridge is now open and we are skiing from Jordan Bowl to Locke & Barker. The snow guns have been running almost non-stop and we have received a couple good helpings of nice powdery dry snow this past week.
We are looking forward to the first PTSC potluck dinner of the season this coming week (5:30 on December 11) at the exhibit hall/barn behind the Dr Moses Mason House; 10 Broad Street in Bethel (Bethel Historical Society House – Mason & Broad Streets). Enter through the Side Door on Mason Street. As usual BYOB and a dish to share. We will have a guest Speaker: Glenn Parkinson, President of the Maine Ski and Snowboard Museum. He is a ski historian and collector and wrote the book “First tracks” about the history of skiing in Maine. His talk will be on “Why we ski”, and should be very entertaining.
