Rain rain go away

Hello everyone,
Today is such a dreary rainy day and I wish it would just snow instead of rain! But don't be worried its not having any significant effect on the snow we made last week! Looks like this coming Wednesday might be the next time we can turn our snow guns on! Hopefully mother nature starts cooperating with us and sends us some winter weather!
 Thankfully for the ski mountains too this rain doesn't have a significant effect on them, man-made snow melts much differently than natural snow.

Today at Seacoast was a day of interviewing, and getting me excited that opening day is in 18 days!!
 Something I love about my job in the hospitality business is meeting new people and facilitating a day of fun for them!
Check on Ski Maine's website for up-to-date information on all the mountains opening days and daily trail reports.

Something to keep in mind for fun activities in the winter is zip lining! No it is not just for the summer time, it is just as fun or more exciting in the winter time. You will already be all dressed for snowmobiling, or skiing or whatever you may like to do outdoors like snow tubing, so why not zip!
Check out these two video's of the longest zip line in Maine 1000 feet, that goes across the snow tubing hill!

 These videos are from almost exactly one year ago the first time we used our hero camera, and you can see the snow-making happening. This camera is awesome and any sports/outdoor enthusiast should have one! Could be a great Christmas present for someone this year.

There are also videos of canopy zip lining at Sugarloaf and Sunday River on YouTube that may be a great addition to your time at the mountain. A canopy zip tour is a series of smaller zips that you are guided through, one guide is sending you and the other receiving you. Our zip line is one long zip line, with a 40 foot fireman's pole down the back of the high tower that you are lowered down.

Something to keep in mind is purchasing gift certificates for someone you know that enjoys outdoor activities to visit your local mountain or tubing park and have an awesome gift to sneak in someone's stocking!

Have a great rest of your weekend everyone!
