Today Mother Nature is smacking us with another weather event. In Southern New England (CT & RI) it is raining. In Massachusetts it started as rain/snow and changed to a wintry mix and then all rain.

Winter 2011/2012 a Continuing Challenge for New England Skiers

The winter with no snow continues to present challenges for skiers and ski areas. I guess calling it a winter with no snow is a bit harsh as some areas of northern New England have seen some of the natural stuff. But snowfall totals are way below normal going into the second week of . . . → Read More: Winter 2011/2012 a Continuing Challenge for New England Skiers

New England Ski Conditions Continue to Improve
