You are right ...Thank you billski for the comments. You are right in-line with my thinking. Maine is a great place to get outside. I concur with your statements on Global Warming - it is going to make the "excellent snow" periods shorter. Have to be on top of it to get the best skiing.

Your articles are very well-written, concise and clear. It's nice to see you've even gone as far as describing the travel/road situations, and producing your own ROI metric.<br /><br />I'm now retired, but during the 90s and 00's we got our three kids out on the slopes young and often, making an adventure out of each journey. Skiing has never been inexpensive when considering everything involved, lifts, equipment, clothing, food, lessons and gas. To pay for five people to ski required a lot of bargain hunting and compromises, but it worked. You are doing many of the things I spent hours each year researching; finding the deals, the best times, providing nuts and bolts options and most importantly, focusing on the family experience. Not everyone in even a single family can or wants to ski the highest, steepest or fastest. They key is all about keeping it fun and minimizing the burdens. Yes, skiing can be a real hassle, compared to going to the beach. All the equipment and logistics, ugh! <br />New families arrive to the sport every year and many of the tips we've come to know bear repeating. Getting and keeping skiers on the slopes is one way we can keep our sport affordable. Fewer skiers, fewer area, fewer incentives for investment. <br />I suppose the next "tip" will have to involve working the angles on global warming. It's taking a toll today on the ski areas; one week cold, one week warm. Repeat. Not sure I have any answers other than to live next door to a ski hill and jump on the new snow when it comes. <br /><br />Thanks for keeping this going. Been reading your material for several year, it's always insightful.billskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396759752971743109noreply@blogger.com
