FasterSkierApril 1, 2010
On my way to Maine yesterday I stopped at Great Glen Trails for what will most likely be my last ski of the year. It was raining the entire way there, with not a patch of snow in sight, so I wasn’t holding my breath for amazing skiing. However the scenery started to change after [...]
