If you're in the North Country this weekend, and haven't already seen the film or want to again, Warren Miller's Chasing Shadows is playing at Littleton Opera House to benefit Mt. Eustis: https://www.facebook.com/events/834292533343529/

Raffles from Cannon, Schilling Beer, Lahouts, and more.

Also just saw their FB post of their work on the rope tow. It is coming along!

Yes, looking good! They had another work day this weekend - I haven't been able to attend again due to training with ASPNC but glad to see it coming along. The warming hut looks great too!

They are optimistic. And there IS snow in the forecast up there! I skied there last season and it is a nice hill. Great location.

Got out yesterday with some friends to skin/hike and ski while the tow was shut down. Beautiful weather to hang out and have a relaxing day with a bit of exercise.

Groomer from Bwoods gone to good use this year.

Looking down from the top of the run. Nice views of Mt. Washington.

One of our group also went on Friday when the rope tow was in action. Good crowd there and she got in 9-10 runs in a couple of hours.

Yesterday we camped out at the picnic table at the base with a Coleman grill for some burritos and hot chocolate/tea.

I'm looking forward to the fundraiser Saturday night (see FB link above). Last year's event was a big success and a lot of fun. Hopefully the momentum keeps up (even if the weather isn't)!
