Here's a few more discounted spring ski days for those of you
able to visit New Hampshire this season. Waterville Valley
ski area has three note worthy dates to consider.

On Saint Patrick's Day, it's only US$17 for a lift ticket and, get
this a mere US$17 a night for lodging at the nearby Golden
Eagle Lodge for the evening of March 16. For reservations
call: 888-705-2453.

Over the weekend of March 20-21, score a learn-to-ski or ride
package, with lessons, lift ticket and equipment for only US$21.

TWO RECENT SKI FATALITIES

February 26th 2010 12:08

Two skiers died while skiing over the last two weeks. The most recent
incident claimed the life of freeskiing competitor and ski movie
performer, C.R. Johnson at Squaw Valley, California on Wednesday.

Johnson fell while skiing through the rocks at Squaw Valley.
He was wearing a helmet.

Last week, a thirty-three year-old male skier was killed while skiing the
North American trail at Vermont's Stratton Mountain. The trail is rated
most difficult. According to reports, the man inadvertently left the trail
and crashed into the trees. He was not wearing a helmet. The cause

of death was cardiac arrest which could had resulted from a chest high,
high speed impact with a tree.

Most skier deaths involve expert level male skiers who are traveling at
a high rate of speed.

KILLINGTON SNOWED-IN

February 24th 2010 23:06

With a two-day snow storm currently raging at Vermont's
Killington-Pico Ski Resort, buses and vehicles without
four wheel drive are at a standstill. The storm has been
dumping at close to three inches per hour with no end
in sight for the next 24 hours.

Today, the ski patrol lowered the ropes on the steepest,
meanest natural snow glades and trails.

Those who were able to make it through the storm to
the mountain today enjoyed crowd free, untracked
thigh deep natural snow in many areas.

Friday promises to be fantastic skiing and riding once the storm
blows out and the skies clear.

Meanwhile, motorists should use extreme caution on their way
to and from the mountain.
