There used to be a T-Bar across the street from the Main Lodge where they would have lessons. I also took lessons Sunday River, long before the days of it being the behemoth it is now. The South Ridge area had a lone T-Bar and that's where I'd go. The last place I learned was at Evergreen Valley, which closed in the early 80s. That photo location looks lite it's directly across from our beach area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three winter's ago 132" The 10 seasons on your sig average 83", but I think 75 is closer to the long term average. Your (hypothetical) neighbor at 250-300' lower elev would be near 70". Western Maine (and adjacent NH) is the CAD capital of New England. Agreed, as I've learned from experience, which also has shown that "best CAD" is often paired with "worst upslope". Bridgton area trivia (for anglers) - Maine's record bass, 11.5 lb, came out of Moose Pond. I've fished (frequently to obsessively) since I was 9 and have never caught one even half that big.

Yeah, it's a big fishing mecca. My buddy, whose family has a place over in Lovell on Heald Pond, thinks that pond could hold a record Bass in it. What little I fished in Moose, I never caught a Bass. Sunfish, Perch, and Catfish. Maybe a couple lbs tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilarious story about evergreen valley...first time I took Megan up to Sunday River years ago, we were doing a budget trip and found this little place called “evergreen valley inn”....like 20-25 minutes south of Sunday River. We pull up and there’s six packs of beer and a gallon of milk sitting outside in the snow staying cold and about 25 snow mobiles parked on the side of the place. The guy at the desk asks if I’m paying cash or credit, I say cash, and he writes me a paper receipt that looked like it was from 1975. I asked him what was up with the snow mobiles and such and that’s when he gave me a mini history of the place and how it used to be the main ski hotel for a former ski resort called “Evergreen Valley”. It’s now used as a popular lodging spot for riders as there’s several trails that intersect around there...and they get the occasional Sunday River skier too as a budget option not too far from the resort like we were doing that trip. We drove by the old ski lodge once it was light out the next morning...you could see the old trails still faintly visible too in the growth of the trees on the mountain. Apparently it went defunct after the 1981-1982 winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Oh and I forgot that when we got in the the room, all the decor looked straight out of like the early to mid 1970s....which now makes sense because the place opened in 1970 and hasn’t been updated since....lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it went defunct after the 1981-1982 winter. That's a great story. I was a youngin' when I skied Evergreen. 6-7 yrs old. Warm winters, no snow-making, and bad financial deals doomed the place. http://www.nelsap.org/me/evergreen.html Pleasant Mountain is the highest summit along that monolith. Some nice hikes I'd recommend there. Nice views up on top where old fire tower is. https://www.loonecholandtrust.org/places-we-protect/preserves/pleasant-mountain-preserve/ Looks like Schrader is technically in Denmark. I believe I've told this story before but my family has long roots in Denmark. They used to own a lot of the land around the south end of Moose Pond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope they can get a handle on this in the next month. 77,000 new cases yesterday. Hospitalizations up and deaths rising. Testing delays in hot spots. Not good at all. Brother in GA says a lot of people there are still refusing to wear masks. Is a post like this ok? I am so grateful CT continues to do so excellent.

Thinking we see a 4'' hail report today Yeah, last year's event had that 15 hatched tornado/45 hail but here its just a 15 hail (for early stage storms) and a large 5% tornado; thinking early storms could indeed have that chance for a strong tornado or two before things grow upscale, likely within 2-3 hours of what I think should be rather rapid CI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
