                            This picture was also taken in the mid 1990's.  I am not sure where I am skiing but
                             it looks like my kind of slope.  I consider myself an intermediate skier and I do not
                             like advance trails "at all".  Bretton Woods, N.H. is my favorite skiing place.

                              My real passion for skiing is the Bretton Woods cross country ski area.  I had many
                              pictures, however, I can not find them.  Being in the woods at Bretton Woods
                              cross country skiing is a thrill.  You can go out skiing for hours and never hit the
                              same trail twice.  I also love working my way to the top of Heart Break Hill and skiing
                              down.  Because the trail is a groomed trail, one must decide to go for it and speed down
                              the hill, or half snow plow with one ski out of the track to keep your speed down.

                              I just go for it, say geronamo and yell with glee all the way down.  If I fall - it's worth it.

                              Because I am an avid hiker, there a lot of hiking trails that I have cross-country skied
                               on in the winter.  There is also an AMC hut that is open in winter.  It is quite a trek in
                               but it is nice and flat going there and you see signs of moose all over the place.  Also
                               you see a lot of friendly people doing the same thing on snow shoes as well.  It is the
                               Zealand Falls Hut and in the winter is open on a caretaker basis only.  This is found
                               in the Twin Mountain Area and you start at Zealand Falls Road.

                               The Oliverian Brook Trail off of the Kancamagus Highway is another excellent
                                cross country trail.   There is a place in Wolfboro that I must put on my list to try.
