Oh’ man that’s just like Judson’s ski dorm up at Sugarloaf used to be. I had many entertaining nights at their bar with the locals. Mainers know how to get their drink on.
Storing food in the snow is old school ski tradition. My brother used to have a house on the Carrabassett River and his dogs would disappear and run down the river when it was frozen and come back with all sorts of goodies from the condos upstream.
