skiing in new england

21 years ago

I'm hoping to go for February vacation week with my children and another family. Any recommendations for family-friendly ski areas and house/condo rentals in New England?

Thanks!

Here's a URL on the subject: http://home.earthlink.net/~nortonc/ski/

I don't ski, but I know lots of skiers, and they go to Loon and Waterville Valley most often.

I do live near Boston, and Vermont, with excellent skiing, is a long drive.

There are a zillion places to stay, and I'm sure many are great. Here's one I know and like. Condominiums with a good recreation center. Minimum condo ownership is a quarter-share, so they're well-maintained:

I just decluttered my kitchen area & got rid of a few of those infamous piles (as in how does all of this stuff accumlate so quickly?) - and filled up a whole waste basket of torn paper!!! yeah composting!!! My daughter (age 6) came up w/the solution to keeping the dog out of the basket (i.e. the dog who loves to eat any paper item). A family effort :) I just love it. My husband started giving me strange looks (actually called me that "obsessive" word) today about me taking the rotten grapes out of the garbage that he had thrown away instead of setting aside for the CP - I thought to myself that he hasn't seen anything - he should read some of the items on the "compost wacko" thread, on which I don't even YET rate :)

Katy, Logee's is certainly an adventure in itself. I've been going there for years. My first times were when Joy Martin was running it. Even squeezing through the aisles single file is worth it. So many exotic plants growing over, under and around! It's only about a 40 minute ride for me. I don't know of any other greenhouses that have that kind of variety. The botanical center at Roger Williams Park here in Providence is big and interesting. There's a $3 admission though. Lunch afterwards would not be a problem. Providence has tons of great restaurants. Maybe some others here would be interested in one of these or something else. Bill

Windows in New England... New or replacement?

I think your humidity is too high and if you have hydronic hot water radiators for heat not enough air circulation. Wash your windows and the wood immediately around the glass with a tri sodium phosphate solution, a half cup or so in a half bucket of hot water, buy the tsp powder at a paint or hardware store, squeegee the glass and wipe the wood dry with a towel, the slight remaining tsp prevents mildew, mold growth. Tsp is the active ingredient in some commercially available mold killer/inhibitors. Wear rubber gloves to prevent skin irritation. t is great to remove grease, dirt, mildew prior to repainting kitchen and bathroom walls. I would think this might save you the expense of replacing windows and if your humidity level is not reduced you might still have condensation on the window glass.

The thing that I noticed on the dormers that bothers me a little is that the cornice line at the roof does not wrap onto the sides as in Kendrah's photos. I think they may also be a little too close to the main roof's eaves, but that will likely be a minor comment once it is all done. Otherwise I think their overall size is about right. What color will this house and trim be painted? That will make some difference. I think right now the round windows are standing out so much for everyone because they are the only thing with white trim. In either case, I would advise to finish the portico, get the shutters on, and get the painting done before making any drastic changes.

Also look into Sugarloaf (Maine). What a ball for people of all ages.

Of course, I don't think you could go wrong with Killington either. Everything from tot ski school (3 yrs and up) to runs way beyond "average" capability.

Hope that helps!
