First Snow Storm of the Season - Nov. 16, 2018
Just a quick video while driving to work showing our first snow of the season in southern New Hampshire, literally. We haven't even had any flurries before today because it's hardly stopped raining for over a month. The weather has been such crap I haven't even been able to rake up any of the leaves in my yard yet. I may have to wait until spring.

Echo Lake, the store, and boat rentals
-----------------------------------------
Jean C.'s Review on The Dyrt:
▶︎ Parking Lot RV Park in a beautiful state park
On the far side of the parking lot at Echo Lake Beach/Cannon Mountain you'll find 7 RV, full-hookup sites. Reservations are recommended in the summer, but from Columbus Day to mid May you may have a chance with walk-up. Be sure to check the entry station for any reservations so you don't have to move later when someone shows up to claim their spot. The rates drop after Columbus Day and the water is turned off.
There is a grassy area behind the RV sites. You'll enjoy more privacy farther from the beach entry. There are coin-operated showers at the Lafayette Place campground a few miles south.
During the summer there is a beach at Echo Lake offering boat rentals. A public boat launch is on the far end of the lake. There's a small lakeside store open when the beach is open. Just across the street is the short but rewarding hike up Artists Bluff, giving you a view into Franconia Notch; continue along the ridge and you'll enjoy the western views from from Bald Mountain. The 8.8 mile multi-use (bike/pedestrian) recreation trail runs on the far side of Echo Lake through Franconia Notch State Park. In the winter, there's skiing at Cannon Mountain. The tram offers a quick route to the summit for different views of the autumn colors.
If you aim to hike Franconia Ridge, on the weekend you can catch a shuttle from the Cannon skier parking lot. With a family, explore the Flume gorge, the Pemi trail, the Basin, and the New England Ski Museum. Within easy driving distance are tourist spots in Woodstock and Lincoln to the south, the Cog Railway up Mt Washington to the northeast, and Santa's Village 35 minutes north.
Polly's Pancake Parlor is a few minutes up the road in Sugar Hill if you'd like a robust breakfast, but call ahead to shorten your wait times. If you've forgotten something, Littleton offersa wide selection of shopping only 15 minutes away.

WINTER OLYMPICS 1948 ST. MORITZ SWITZERLAND 79914
Written and directed by Hanz Thorner, this reel provides comprehensive coverage of the Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland in 1948. Many events staged at St. Moritz are covered in the film, including the Ladies Special Slalom, (00:00:50:00) figure skating, (00:04:18:00) ski jumping, (00:09:00:00) the 50 km. cross country race, (00:13:40:00) and a thrilling speed skating race. (00:17:30:00). Six cameras were used in the production to catch the champions of 30 nations in action. The film also highlights the queen of the ice, Barbara Anne Scott, (00:11:50:00) records back-stage victory celebrations, training sessions, and a variety of other highlights. Camera close-ups captured Olympian champions Barbara Anne Scott and Dick Buttons, queen and king of the ice, women’s Slalom champion Gretchen Fraser from Vancouver, and Edy Reinhalter from Switzerland.
Born in Einsiedeln, Switzerland, Hanz Thorner moved to the United States in 1932. One of the first certified ski instructors in the United States, Thorner operated ski schools across the country, including at the Glen House in Pinkham Notch, Lake Placid, and Mt. Rainer. Settling down in New Hampshire, Thorner opened The Thorner House in Franconia for the 1940-41 season. After spending time looking for an ideal ski area, Thorner decided to build Magic Mountain on private property in Londonderry, Vermont, with the goal of having the area “more Swiss than a Swiss watch.”
Opening for the 1960-61 season, the area was to be a ski-in, ski-out resort with plenty of activities. A village was developed at the base of the mountain, featuring hotels and bars. The challenging trails of the ski area had colorful names matching the Magic theme of the mountain. Thorner was known for doing things differently than others in New England, such as importing Swiss ski instructors and having Magic's slopes mowed by sheep during the off season.
Thorner sold Magic Mountain in 1985. He died in December of 2003 at the age of 95.

This drive in the southwestern corner of Vermont is not a loop; you will need to double back to return to the start or step off the route where ever you choose. This drive also dips into northwestern Massachusetts to visit the delightful town of Williamstown. The Vermont towns of Manchester and Bennington are cherished for their classic New England beauty structures, and for their fine museums, dining and shopping. Take all or a part of the drive, which includes a very outdoorsy side trip to the pristine Somerset Reservoir. This drive has lots of digressions for dining and wining.
This loop drives starts and ends at the bustling, hippie-period-redux town of Brattleboro, with lots of good dining, fun shops, and a circus school, and travels on and around Route 9, also called the Molly Stark Byway. The drive passes through the Mount Snow ski area, which offers scenic chair life rides on the Bluebird Express daily during foliage season. You will pass through delightful towns like Newfane and Whitingham, and the views all along the way are guaranteed to be spectacular if the weather cooperates.
Lakes Bomoseen and St. Catherine Loop -- 55 miles
This drive is actually two intersecting loops, forming a figure eight, so you can shorten or lengthen the entire drive as you see fit. The loops travel around Lake Bomoseen, Birdseye Mountain, and Lake St. Catherine. A neat side trip takes you to Proctor, where you can learn about and marvel at the state’s historic marble quarrying industry. Also, tour a real castle!
Upper Connecticut River Valley Loop -- 115 miles
This loop is a large north-south oval in east-central Vermont, starting and ending in the beautiful town of Woodstock and passing through the Killington ski area. A small side trip takes you to the dramatic Quechee Gorge, also known as Vermont’s Little Grand Canyon, with fun souvenir shopping right nearby. You can shorten the drive easily by doing only pieces of the loop.
Stowe and Northern Mountains Loop -- 60 miles
This drive starts and ends at Stowe and its world-famous ski mountain, where, in the fall, you can take a gondola sky ride and see the fall foliage from above as you warm up the seat for wintertime skiers coming up next. Also near Stowe are two waterfalls, where adventurous people may hike or take photos or have a picnic. The drive also passes one of the state's parks, with a beautiful mountain lake. Prepare for classic images of Vermont’s Green Mountains. Also, a quick, 6-mile side-trip down Route 100, directly south of Stowe like a tail on this drive loop, is Waterbury Center, a sweet place, partly because of the presence of Cold Hollow Cider Mill.
