And they have done it again!! Yes, yes, they have! Sunday River is open!
This is the fourth year in a row that Sunday River has been the first to open in New England, and this year, they were actually the first resort in the country to kick off their 2010-2011 Winter season.

In the past three days Loon Mountain in Lincoln, New Hampshire, has received over eighteen inches of fresh snow! Over eighteen! Add that to a base depth between 18-30 inches, and you have got some amazing snow conditions!

There are times when I think that my friend is crazy. She is a rock climber--an avid one at that--who also has parents who are very much into climbing. Her parents are so into climbing that they once left her alone in her house for 9 weeks during her senior year of high school to go ice climbing in Russia. There was a point in time when my friend was so incredibly distraught for an entire week because she had lost all sources of communication that she had with her parents. She thought that she had lost them forever, but
