Last week, the NY Times published an article and slide show with tips on planning an affordable family ski weekend (I especially enjoyed the adorable photo of the pint-sized skier in the pink jumpsuit in the first frame). Growing up outside of Boston, my family wasn’t big on skiing, but I have fond memories of road trips to Pennsylvania to visit the grandparents and having sing-alongs in the back seat with my little brother. What are your favorite memories from a family vacation? Leave a comment, and let us know!

From now until Sunday, December 16, Waterville Valley will take canned food donations to help re-stock the area food banks, which are suffering a shortage this year.
And to top it all off, they are offering an incentive for skiers and riders to donate. There will be a raffle drawn on the last day of the food drive, with the prize being a $100 Waterville Valley Gift Card. For every can you donate, in turn you’ll receive a WV raffle ticket – bring in one can and you get one entry. Bring two and you get two tickets and on it goes. So when packing up the car for a great day of skiing, throw in a can or two for your chance to win!
