Getting the perfect gift for outdoor enthusiast in your life can always be an adventure. Firstly, most of them already have every thing they could need for his/her chosen activity. Secondly, a lot of outside activities do not need a lot of gear or gadgets so the options for the perfect gift to put under the tree are far and few between.
With this double whammy in mind, we did a posting on Idea Offer looking for the perfect holiday gift for the outdoors fanatic.
The winning idea came from Elaine Chastain:

Where Is My Snow?
by Bea December 21st, 2010 | Outdoor Activities, Winter Activities
If you are me and live within 3 hours of Boston, it looks like you are going to have to travel to find your snow this Christmas. Who knows, maybe we will be lucky and get a surprise snowstorm, or at least a dusting to make it look like we have some, but at this point, I'm predicting bare grounds.
So, where can you find the snow that we love? It's time to head to upstate New York, Vermont (a few inches...), or Maine. You could, however, also make your way to southern Sierra Nevada where there is a winter

Camping: It is a local thing
by TK December 14th, 2010 | Camping, Outdoor Activities
Spending the night in the great outdoors is one of the great joys of the outdoors life. The great part of camping is that it can take on a million different meanings depending on who you ask. For some people it delivers a vision of mountains and the brisk air of the morning. For others, it means the sound of surf and the mist of the salty ocean air.
No matter what part of the globe you are on, one thing is certain: there are camping opportunities local to wherever you are.

It’s Skiing Time!
by Jacob P. December 9th, 2010 | Outdoor Activities, Skiing, Winter Activities
That's right, ladies and gentlemen, skiing season has started in New England! I am a skier and thought I should do an article to help start kids' skiing.
Now, if you are a parent with kids who ski and you need a way to get them skiing, as you are too busy, I would suggest using school ski programs to get kids skiing. They are really helpful, as they take the kid skiing, let him/her hang out with friends, and teach them new things. When I started skiing, I started via my school's ski program. My program bussed us to Pat's

The Mountains are Opening!
by Bea November 23rd, 2010 | Outdoor Activities, Skiing, Winter Activities
Slowly, but surely, the mountains of the East Coast have been opening for the 2010-2011 skiing and riding season. Many of the mountains, such as Sunday River, have only been open on the weekends.
While I am still waiting for the day when the mountains are open 7 days a week, I definitely agree with their business choices of only being open on the weekends. In addition to the component of making more money because the demand to ski would not be high during the weekdays at this point, it also means that the mountains can focus on snow making
