Bunny Tracks in the Snow!

As Mother Nature continues to dump snow on the North East, ski conditions remain prime! Skiers and snowboarders can take advantage of an extended ski season this year as well as some great spring deals. This is a great time to take advantage of the long Easter Weekend and get some last runs in before it’s all gone! Add a little challenge to your annual Easter egg hunt by adding a pair of skis to the mix. And don’t think you will miss your Easter Sunday services; many of the resorts offer a sunrise service at the top of the mountain. If you have never been, that is a site to behold! There are still great lodging deals at resorts such as Killington VT, Mt. Snow VT & Loon New Hampshire. Although it’s a holiday weekend the crowds will not overtake the resort leaving you with fresh powder and plenty of room to play! So don’t pack up the winter gear just yet and head for the hills, the Easter Bunny will be waiting for you!

Loon's South Peak Expansion Set to Debut in December

After over 15 years of planning, court fights and bureaucratic red tape the South Peak area of Loon Mountain is set to open. The trails have been cut and made ready, the lift towers for the Lincoln Express high speed quad are in and the new terrain is expected to open this December. Also in place are the towers for the Tote Road Quad which will take skiers & riders in both directions between the South Ridge area and the main resort. Three trails, about 50 acres of skiing terrain will be accessible this winter. This represents about 35% of the eventual terrain which will come on line over the course of the 3 – 5 year project. This expansion will make Loon Mountain, already a popular destination, one of the largest ski resorts in New Hampshire.

Also new this year, Tours De Sport has added the Nordic Inn to our lodging offerings serving Loon. The Nordic Inn is located between down town Lincoln and Loon. It offers affordable condominiums from 1 to 3 bedrooms as well as access to an indoor pool & fitness center and a free shuttle to and from the mountain.
