Bridgton Maine is the land of big houses and big barns: attached together. Some of them are big enough to be a grammar school with gymnasium. The upkeep appears absolutely daunting. Oh, did you know that roof shoveling is a favorite past time in Maine? You can always spot the home of a roof shoveler by the telltale sign of a long ladder leaning against the house. Maniacs certainly like to shovel. Why they even plow their lawns for practice. :)
Bridgton is also home to Shawnee Peak aka "Squeaky Chair." One lift sounds like a playground swing set - rather charming unless it all falls down. Actually, it's rather amazing that I could even hear the chairlift since Shawnee Peak has adopted that annoying habit of blasting music at the base. The place was a beehive of people.
If you seek some snow solace, make your way mountain left to the quieter lodge.
About Me
- Jen-ski
- I am an avid skier/snowboarder from Connecticut who enjoys New England winters. One day several years ago while dwelling in my cubicle at work pushing paper in a meaningful manner, I dreamed of a New England ski quest -to ski/board every ski resort in New England. A delightful quest highly recommended for all. Let it snow!
