#CannonIsMine: New Hampshire Family Skiing at its Finest

December 1, 2020 by braveskimom

They told us how much they loved skiing at Cannon with their two kids.  Then they swore us to secrecy. “Please don’t tell anymore,” they said. “Don’t write about Cannon.” A […]

Sunlight’s East Ridge Expansion: Visionary New Terrain

October 13, 2020 by braveskimom

This post was originally scheduled for mid-March, but I delayed it after the shut-downs began. The leading paragraphs may seem a bit quaint at this moment, but when “normal” returns, I still believe that small resorts, like Sunlight, are reinvigorating our favorite winter sports. Please check at the bottom of this post for specific updates […]
