When the white stuff starts falling, don't run for the covers. Don
your long johns, head outside, and turn an otherwise sleepy
winter's day into an invigorating and rejuvenating adventure.
As you worked in the yard this summer during the 90+ degree, 80%
humidity-laden days of July, you breathed in the damp, dank air of
summer and remembered with longing the crisp, dry purity of winter's
air; the calming effect of the swoosh of your skies gliding down the
mountain; and the diamond-like sparkle of snow-covered ground.
But as summer at last draws to a close, heed the call of the slopes and embrace your inner ski bunny once more. Plan a winter getaway that encompasses the grandeur and beauty of the season by going downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, tubing, snowboarding, or simply joining in a spontaneous snowball fight. When you come in to warm up, you can toast your toes by the lodge's fire, enjoy exquisite dining, or discover the charming warmth of the local ski-town. Over 39 states offer snow-covered peaks and valleys to guarantee that novice skiers and professionals alike can find what suits them best. While east coast ski resorts tend to be a bit smaller than their western counterparts, they can be every bit as challenging. In the Pocono Mountain Region of Pennsylvania alone, there are over 146 slopes ranging from peaceful green beginner runs to mogul-filled, heartpumping double-black diamond advanced slopes. So what are you waiting for? Start planning your ski vacation today and let your daily, uphill battles gently unfold to nothing but downhill slopes. |
