marc is a fellow penny pincher, nice! beano, the trojan is a hostel with beds on the cheap. when i lived in MA, i always kept trying to arrange a stay the trojan but it is not ideally located for many decent areas. if i had to drive more than an hour from a hostel to a ski area, i would rather just drive home and come back the next day.

Thanks...I had just googled trojan and figured that out. 23 bucks isn't a bad deal at all.

This time year, hotels aren't a bad deal though, maybe not 23, but possibly 45-55 and closer to the mountain.

This be true, just throwing it out there. If he has another person, it works out.

You couldn't figure out I'm cheap, Steve, from my other posts trying to bum equipment off Austin and you??

Yeah I like the Trojan, it's about 30-40 min. from K so I stay there a lot when I ski up there. For the price it's one of the cleaner hostels, plus I find it inviting because it is part of an old 18th or 19th century house.

Have yet to stay at Turn of River, I'm going to have to check that out, but I imagine it stays pretty full. It's much easier to get a room at the Trojan, esp if you call ahead to make sure the guy is actually going to be there!

turn of river is great. i have stayed there mid-week and the place was so empty, they were partnering up bunk people and giving them regular rooms instead of the bunks in the basement. i imagine the place is a zoo on the weekend, but that is the way that area is. if you are in the gorham area, i highly recommend hikers paradise which never really fills up even on the weekends. mostly mount washington climbers there but you get a few skiers.

Nice, I'll have to try it. Last time we went up to ski Attitash, we stayed at the Cranmore Lodge and I wasn't all that impressed. $30 I believe.... the hostel itself was dingy, although that did include breakfast in the inn which was good.
