we bought a place up in Intervale, and I am dying for that new tech center to open up on rte 16 down in Conway. If they have jobs I would be fit for, it would be real hard not permanently move in to the vacation home!

I enjoy the benefits of living alone, such as not having to share and not having to clean up after a significant other, children or pets. I do love to give lavish attention to other people's pets and not have to be responsible for the maintenance part of the job.

I live and work in NH for a major telecommunications company and I don't ski nearly as often as everyone else in this forum.

I'm 16 going into the 11th grade... ski like 15-20 times a year but probably goin to get 25+ this year with a license... i bike like 2 times a year and im horrible... i did climb like 20+ times last year but this year the weather is horrible so i got out twice :roll: ummm what else, i play the guitar but im horrible. I go to school at lynn classical and im the only halfway decent skier in the whole school :roll: No real idea yet what my major in college is going to be... all that i no is that it will involve math or science, and the college needs to be near ski areas, not too sure if i will stay in the NE, hmmmm let me think if there is anything else...
ohhh ya i hike too, not that much though.... I also play basketball but dont play for the school because i cant compete with a bunch of 6+ ft tall black kids who can dunk :wink:

nothing concrete. I do know where it is going to be, but no news on its progress. I'm keeping my eyes and ears open, though.

Good thread idea!

I'm 40 yrs old, married to my college sweetheart, one boy 11yrs old. I'm forced to work as a webmaster, but what I really want to do is just ski and travel all the time. My husband is a structural engineer. So... he's really meticulous-like. But smart as a whip I tell you. He's also a snowboarder, but my son and I try not to hold that against him. :wink:

We usually ski at Killington. But we like to go to other areas in the NE. We also try to get out west once a season. We've only been ski nuts for about 4 years. It's amazing how quickly the addiction takes hold.

Aside from skiing, I like to travel--especially to exotic places (I'm not a sanitized-travel type person, I like to rough it!). It is my lifelong dream to go to all these places: Galapagos, Easter Island, Africa, the South American rainforest and the Australian Outback.

I also keep a lava lamp bubbling on my desk all day. It soothes my hippie soul.

.....

54, existing in Bangor, Maine, for now.
Working PT online...system management/support, flyrod-tester for a few companies(..ha, always knew I'd specialize in something)
Enjoy hiking or just walks..in mountains/woods..anywhere, any type of single-blade paddling..., skiing(resort/hiking/skinning outside the groomers), fiddle around with software(here & there) and carpentry.

 

[Tyrolean_skier]

I am 48, married, two children - boy 8, girl almost 5. I write computer software for a financial company. I am a lifetime passholder at Killington. We ski at Killington most of the time. Occasionally we do wander to other mountains. Last big ski vacation we took was to Steamboat 2 years ago. Unfortunately, because of kids' school vacations and limited vacation time from work, we are forced to take our vacation during the holiday periods so traveling West can get very expensive. We choose to spend most of those school vacations at Killington where we own a condo. My kids are both in ski programs at Killington as well. Before too long they will surpass myself and their father in their technical ability. I enjoy meeting new people and I usually arrange a few get togethers of my skiing buddies so we can socialize.

During the summer I enjoy gardening and boating. We sometimes invite some of our skiing buddies to join us on boating trips.

 

[severine]

I'm not on here often but I'll play along!

I'm 27 (will be 28 in October) and married to bvibert. We have 1 daughter and a dog. I skiied for only 1 season (Jan-March 2004) but hope to get back to it this winter. I work as a secretary in the local Assessor's Office but would love to do just about anything else (preferably up north or out west, as many of you also dream to do). I also like to hike when I have the time and would love to get into kayaking more, but we can't afford the equipment at this time.

I realized I had not dropped in on this thread. 40 yrs old married my college sweetheart as well. Two kids all into the mountain life.
All those thinking of moving to NH. Can't say a bad thing about the idea.
Well EZ pass needs some work. :wink: Wrong thread.
I'm a technical construction products sales guy going on my 14th year. I send every weekend from early November till Mid May in the mountains making turns. I usually hike every other weekend off season.
I love waterfalls and outdoor activities with the family.
Met alot of folks from this board either hiking of making turns. Great group. Ow ya no political stuff.

So, I'll confess my sin: I don't live in the NorthEast. I grew up in Vermont, though, and hope/plan to move back in summer of '06. I'm 28, happily single, and living in Boulder, Colorado, selling ski vacations. I grew up nordic skiing and snowboarding in my front yard (and occasionally off the roof). I first alpine skied when I was 20, having dropped out of college and living in Park City, Utah. Then came telemark, which I haven't been able to develop as I would like. Without snow, I backpacked/hiked around Vermont and New Hampshire fairly prolifically before moving away. I'm looking forward to moving back to be close to my parents, siblings, and 4 nieces/nephews (and Fenway).

I think you're the only snow sport enthusiast that I've ever heard say they are looking foward to moving back east!

Ha! I've never been accused of being mainstream! To be fair, I wouldn't move back for the skiing/hiking, although I do miss the mtns of the NE. Mostly, I'd be moving back for family reasons (ie. seeing them once a year doesn't cut it).

Thats cool, I just thought it was kinda funny.

 

[ctenidae]

Man, I moved to the NE to get away from my family. Having to see them once a year (at most, lately) is almost too much...

I am 54 yo, currently live on the coast of Maine in a small town, Cumberland Center. I am married, my wife is a Rutland native and claims to be the first female liftie in 1972 at Kmart. Have 3 kids(14,17,19) all knuckledraggers.

I grew up in the Daks, near the Vermont border then moved to Vermont. In 1974 I moved out west to seek bottomless powder, thought it would be a few years but ended up 23 years. 17 of those years working and skiing my brains out at Jackson Hole.

I returned to Vermont in 1996, went to work at Sugarbush then moved to Maine in 2001. We still have a small home in the MRV. You would not believe the excuses I come up with to go there....lol

As soon as the kids are out the door we will be back to Vermont.

I have been a photographer for 30 years plus I work at LL Bean from Oct to Jan. Check my website out at www.photoart.bigstep.com

Well I'm a 42 year old fashion designer from New York City - my hobbies include walking on the beach and designing womens aparal...

Actually - I'm 42 - work on a large healthcare system as a database programmer in Albany
I've been engaged for 4 years to a lovely skier chick... Whom I met at a skibar in Hunter but we were both taken at the time.
Then met again on a trip to Wistler - and discovered we were both single - the rest is history.
After 911 we made a pact to move out of the city and up to Village of Hunter. Not a big strech because we love to ski the mountain and have made many awesome friends in town. Plus the very thing people diss about hunter is what we love about it - The New York City influence and attitude..

We bought a 100 year old farm house a mile from the entrance to Hunter. We have 2 cats that hate each other.. We hope to get involed in helping the town grow out of it's old image and into a real ski town.

Our relationship is mixed...
I snowboard and she skis.. But - you know - it's a new era and I think people are more tolerant of such things...
