It may technically be spring but I still feel winter!

Good afternoon everyone!!

Its a windy but sunny day down here in southern Maine, and I am at work catching up on my office business before I fly out to Utah tomorrow! I am sooooooo excited about my trip, this is my third year in a row going, and I am absolutely in love with the west!

But, last week we got an awesome snow storm and I made sure I made my way to Sunday River to get my last powder day in! It snowed all day Tuesday and in the mountains it was sunny out but still snowed the entire day Wednesday when I was there! It's funny how many people are willing to call out of work to get a taste of that fresh mountain pow! There is nothing better in a skiiers world than getting to play in some of that fluffy snow, and there were smiles across everyones face all day :)

This was the view from White Cap Lodge, you see no one in the picture but this was the middle of the afternoon...aka no lines!! It was a perfect day of riding and my legs were toast by the end of the day!

After that snow storm the weather has been pretty mild and we have had some beautiful days tubing at Seacoast!

I took this picture on Sunday, we had 11 lanes open, it was sunny, and 45 degrees what else could you ask for in the end of March?!

I know some peeople are sick of the snow and winter, so just remind yourself spring is around the corner! Yesterday I ran outside and then walked the beach, so you can do anything this time of year as long as you are dressed right!

We are open for tubing this weekend and possibly next weekend! Make sure you get you spring skiing in and come home with some goggle tans!!

Snow is coming!!

Good afternoon!!

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend finishing it off with St.Paddy's Day yesterday!

Today is the calm before our snow storm that will be starting after midnight tonight and going into Wednesday morning!

I know that not everyone is happy about this but the reality is that we are still in the winter months, and mother nature is reminding of us this with a storm! Spring is not going to be right around the corner, like some snow-haters that I know will not be too happy about. But anyone that skis, snowboards, snowshoes, snowmobobiles, snow tubes, and whatever else you Mainers do in the snow will be happy about it!!

This picture is of my little helper and me at the snow park! His name is Oscar, he's 4 months old, and is being trained to be our snow park's mascot! I got him to pull the tube a little ways, he loves tubing, and riding the carpet lift...by far best dog ever!

This weekend I stayed up in Oquossoc, Maine which is right near Rangeley, Maine. It's really beautiful up there with the lake and more importantly their town's landmark is Saddleback Mountain.

This a view from the top of the quad at the mountain, it was a little icy from the rain but overall the view just makes it all better! With this coming snowfall the mountains and us (seaocast snow park) will be able to have a longer, snow-filled season!

Get ready for the snow today and get outside to enjoy some of the sunshine!

snowwww

Good afternoon everyone,

it has continued to snow on and off for what seems like the past week with snowfall today and accumulation happening tomorrow of 2-5 inches! Last wednesday I was able to go up to Sunday River for the day, which was amazing!!! It snowed at least 5 inches while I was there making for perfect powder conditions...I was one happy snowboarder! (Sorry the pics are sideways they arent when viewing them on my computer but I can't figure out how to rotate the pics on the blog!)

I know everyone is starting to feel a little cabin fever about the winter, but lets enjoy it while its still here! If you feel the need to go running, I know the Back Bay Boulevard sidewalk/running path is cleared off. Another indoor option is going to MRG (Maine Rock Gym) is in Portland, and it a great way to get some exercise through a different indoor activity.

Happy Hump Day Everyone!

wow...thank you mother nature

Good afternoon everyone!!

This winter is flying by I can not believe it is already march! It is proving to be a great winter though winter tons of snowfall within the past couple weeks. It has even been snowing a little today, we certainly love it here at the snow park.

We had a very successful February vacation week...we were packed!! But this was a picture of one of our afternoon time session..both lifts running giving plenty of people rides to the top with 12 lanes open! I got to meet some awesome people this week that came as far as Marthas Vineyard to go tubing!

We had two different people come to the park this week to take some new footage and pictures. One of them goes down on skiing jumping between the lanes with his hero cam getting some amazing shots! 

Tonight we are holding our second annual fundraiser for the South Windham Fire Station! Half of every ticket purchased tonight will be donated to the fire station. So that means everyone get your gear on and come join us tubing under the lights tonight!

See you all tonight because I will not be working but taking part in the fun! Can not wait to go tubing! :)
