We left on Sunday for our annual Jiminy Peak trip. We arrived in the late afternoon, enough time to hit the slopes before dinner. We were with a crowd, so when J ran out of steam, I brought her back to our hallway at the Country Inn for her to hang out with folks while … [Read more…]
We spent Sunday, Monday, and today on our annual Jiminy Peak trip with friends. We returned a few hours ago, and I’ve literally been stumbling around due to exhaustion. As in, I tripped on our duffel bag handle and landed on my face, and moments later I fell down the stairs while carrying 3 pairs … [Read more…]
I’ve been so discombobulated by the holiday and related travels that I’ve lost track of time, and I forgot to remind you that Natalie at Trendy Tots in Schenectady is offering a special discount to all of you. If you go from Tuesday December 27th to Saturday December 31st, you can get 20% off your … [Read more…]
If you’re considering getting your kids skiing this winter, now’s the time to look for seasonal rentals. We seized the day off from school last week to go to Goldstock’s to get ours. Update: I forgot to link before, but Sandra at Albany Kid wrote a review of Goldstock’s last year. Last year we went, gosh, … [Read more…]
Okay, hopefully the snow won’t be here too much longer, but I realized that I never passed along our ski getaway report, so here it is. We spent two nights at Jiminy Peak in Hancock, Massachusetts, and it was such a good time that I’ve been telling everyone I know that they should go, and … [Read more…]

But then, instead, I decided to share my notes as I checked out lift ticket prices. We’re thinking about skiing this Sunday. This listing is pretty self-serving. It isn’t particularly helpful for those … [Read more…]
We finally made it to Maple Ski Ridge! Really, I feel silly that we hadn’t gone before. Everyone told us that it was a great easy trip and perfect for learning skiers. Somehow, I had a mental block that there couldn’t be anything worth a trip that wasn’t, you know, a trip. But we had … [Read more…]
We went sledding today, and I have to tell you: I am not good at sledding. You would think that there’s not a great deal of skill involved. I mean, children do it quite successfully. Not me. I always get nervous and start wiggling around, and that throws the sled off course, and next thing … [Read more…]
Okay, I know, I’ve been the slacking blogger lately. Originally I thought that I’d be home much earlier yesterday, but with the crazy weather, plans changed. In case you were wondering, yes, it was warm and pouring rain on Monday at Jiminy Peak. It was monsoon-like. We took a walk that morning and it was … [Read more…]
