It's that time of year when the snow reports start coming into FasterSkier.com. The lucky skiers who get to enjoy early season skiing usually send us pictures, which we share with the rest of the ski world as we all wait anxiously for our own dusting of the white stuff.
This year had been off to a predictable start – reports of a snowstorm or two in the Rockies, skiing in Fairbanks, Alaska in mid-October – all the usual early season hotspots. But on Tuesday, we received some reports of early season skiing from a very unlikely place: New England. But it is true, they are skiing in Northern New Hampshire in October! Here are two of the reports we received.
From Sally Brassill in the Mt. Washington Valley of New Hampshire:
 Karen Eisenberg, President Doug Armstrong, and Sally Swenson (mother of local hero Carl) also skiing were Sally Brassill and Nat Steele. We would like to thank Howie Weimes of Great Glen for letting us on the trails today. They are getting ready for what we know will be a wonderful winter!

And another report from Franconia Notch, New Hampshire by Peter Smith:
 in the Franconia Notch area and at the base of the Cannon Mt. ski area. I went up the ski area after skiing the bike path but the snow was so heavy that my skinny skis would not turn very well in the deep cement. Luckily there were quite a few snowboarders and skiers so I could follow their tracks and go into the deep stuff to slow down. Good 2 1/2 hour ski.
