For those of you who remember our dear friend and front-desk co-worker Carlene Sullivan … you’ll get a real kick out of this!! Carlene, aka The Snow Goddess, has been called upon year after year in the Mount Washington Valley to perform her famous snow dance whenever Mother Nature has eemed to abandon us. Bikini clad, Carlene would don her downhill skis and perform her snow making ritual … always with great results. This year Carlene has been teaching yoga in Goa, India since October … but that was okay, because we had a huge snowstorm at Halloween. The day before Thanksgiving, the snow gods were also smiling when they sent us 14” of snow perfectly timed for the Polar Express. After that we were blessed with a white Christmas on Christmas Eve. But since then … nothing! A HUGE snow drought. It was depressing for all of us anxious to get out on our cross-country skis. So last week I wrote an email to Carlene begging the Snow Goddess to do her magic, despite her being half way around the world. Unbeknownst to me, Dana sent her a similar email also, and Voila! We got an awesome storm right afterwards! A few days ago she sent a photo of the Snow Goddess to the local newspaper, where she appeared on skis, surrounded by sari-clad Indian women. It was just what the doctor ordered for the 3-day Martin Luther King weekend!
This week we were also blessed with a visit from our son Christopher and his wife Elizabeth, and we tried out some of this fabulous new snow with our XC skis up at Great Glen Trails with our FREE Lodge Passes. It was AWESOME!! The trails were great, the views spectacular, and we got a healthy workout with our kids. So the news this week is come on up and try it out for yourself … we’ll give you free passes and a trail map. You’ll feel so exhilarated and healthy … a fun way to follow up on those New Year’s resolutions that are starting to fade from our minds!
