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.
If you ever go up to your place via the Lakes region keep an eye out for the old Mountain Whittier site. When we go up to North Conway my kid loves driving by the McDonald’s that has the old lift tower in its parking lot.
The building behind McDonald’s was the old lodge that the lift ran into and the lift actually went across the state highway!
I skied Watatic as a kid when it was still open. Then did some back country out there about 10 years ago I was surprised how good the trails still were and there were a bunch of other people out there skiing.
Yup.
Storm was potent but probably more disappointed weenies than elated weenies.
Pretty good winds though, my yard is already drying out. 34/27 and gusty.
