...boo-hoo....that's too bad... I was thinking about joining the Gilford Hills Tennis club plus skiing Gunstock too and doing both tennis and skiing this winter but without the super Belknap County discount.....anymore ....it is totally out of the question! U-know if people want to go zip-lining why don't they get serious about it and just go sky-diving from a plane which doesn't require all those very expensive towers and cables running up and down the mountain ... for just a 60-second slide down the cable?

...so does that mean the Belknap County "local's" price has gone from $129 to $429 for residents to ski Gunstock on weekdays and Sunday....holidays excluded...or something....not too good?

...will have to stay cross country skiing on the five or so free miles of U.S. Forest Service multiple use trails that start at the Depot Camp parking lot in Waterville Valley, and shovel the snow off the public tennis courts for tennis. The trail leading up to Greeley Ponds got a serious rebuild this summer and is now basically a sand and gravel road so smooth and even, that it could be driv'n in a 1952 Buick ... except for the steel gate there.... yikes


....tennis raquets and skis....both made by Head.....wonder if they make a Swiss Army version of the "Head tennis-ski" ..... www.head.com ..... that can be used for both sports...on the cheap....something like an el cheapo showshoe design usable for both skiing the mountain, and wacking a tennis ball around the court .... hmmmmm? .... what-a-concept .... and then go hit the freebie public town courts and the freebie federal public trails...hopefully it makes a SCHUSS sound when it smacks a tennis ball.....SCHUSS.....made in Switzerland.....dont'a-u-know-it......yodell!
