Our family ski adventure

And so it came to be. We fulfilled Mr M's dream of hut-to-hut skiing en famille. 4 1/2 days = 50 miles of trails. Up and down and across, icy, snowy, sunny and warm, you name it. 

The Maine Huts & Trails set up was fantastic. The food & eco-lodges & crew were great. we loved the book and games - and beer - selection each evening. Here are some preliminary snaps. No doubt, the main photographer will share more. 

 The New York Times article that caught my eye in 2012.
So glad we did it!

We skied into a moose - I kid you not. Some of us got very close and took a selfie... Despite yelling and waving our poles, it wouldn't go away, so we skied gently by. 
She was my jukebox. Singing up a storm and trekking along, as she has done for the last 6 years

They were wonderful company for each other. They sang 100 bottles of beer - all the way through... They did multiple choice quizs about science, books, and family history. Hilarious!

My love's 30+ year old East German pole finally broke on the last day. (We did pick it up)
