Default Gunstock -- December 18/19

Quick update -- we live 2 miles from Gunstock (we are lucky and grateful) and purchased season passes, which we first used this weekend.

Conditions were definitely early season -- but so were the lift lines....non existent and fantastic for die-hards. Decent conditions on the open slopes for most of the days.

My husband has three girls from a previoius marriage -- 11, 7 and 5 -- and the 11- and 7-year-olds learned at Pat's Peak last season and can handle Gunstock's intermediate trails and the black diamond open this past weekend. The 5-year-old loves skiing thanks to the great staff (Matt and Katie, who gave her the first two lessons this weekend), and she looks forward to learning much more at the Children's Center next weekend. She is a self-professed lover of the sport. We are truly lucky to live so close to a good family mountain and look forward to an excellent season!

Our best to all for the holidays -- stay safe and enjoy your friends and family...see you on the slopes!
