Joy of Skiing 02/21
Progressive picnic on skis. Benefits Maine Lung Association.
Combine two of life's greatest pleasures, eating and skiing. Starting with homemade (fresh off the grease, right on the side of the trail) donuts, moving on to muffins and sweet breads out on the trail system, continuing to the covered bridge for a hot soup lunch, heading back for s'mores at the fire pit and finally ending up on the deck for chips, salsa, cheese and crackers, it is well worth the $7/head to benefit the Maine Lung Association.
Just buy a ski ticket and pay for a sticker and off you go!
Kids are $4, and tickets bought in advance are $6/adults.
