Sunday River
http://www.sundayriver.com
- Located
7 miles from The Moose Lodge, Sunday River is New
Englands fastest growing ski resort, with 126 trails and glades, 654 acres of
skiable terrain and 18 modern lifts, including four super quads. There are
eight interconnected mountain peaks of skiing and riding featuring the
magnificent Oz and the Jordon Bowl, the largest expansion in the
history of Eastern Skiing.
Nowhere else in the East can you find
Sunday River's combination of size, terrain, legendary snow and fun loving atmosphere.
The mountain boasts an arsenal of over 1,300 snowguns, the largest snowmaking
system in the east. Sunday river is a world class playground in full pursuit of the
great ride!
Sunday River gives you terrain for all
abilities, just one of the reasons why they won the coveted National Ski Area Design
Award. Test yourself on over 14 miles of expert terrain or take to the air at one of the 8
unique ski and snowboard playgrounds!

Ski Mt Abram - A Favorite of Families
http://www.mediaodyssey.com/ski/overview.cfm/me07.htm
Mt. Abram Ski Resort has long been a favorite of families, especially those
with children. Even now, when families can travel just a little further to a
mega-resort, many prefer the intimate feel of Mt. Abram Ski Resort.
This is fostered by the fact that at the end of the day, or at lunch for
that matter, it is easy to round up the family as there is only one base
area and the parking lot is nearby -- easily accessible for forgotten
mittens, goggles or other items left in the car.
The mountain provides beginner to expert terrain, enough to keep skiers of
all abilities happy, but with an emphasis on intermediate level cruising.
There is a 2-1/2-mile long Easy Rider with spectacular views, the Bullwinkle
cruising trail, heat pumping Rocky's Run and two new fall-line bump runs.
Mt. Abram Ski Resort offers a permanent half-pipe for snowboards on
Dudley-Do-Right, an intermediate trail located on the main face of the
mountain.
The Mt. Abram Ski Resort Ski School emphasizes ski building for all ages,
with special attention to children and a learn-to-ski program.
Plenty of accommodations -- from mountainside condos to country inns -- can
be found in Bethel and neighboring towns.
