When you go skiing or riding at Mt. Abram, you're always dealing with happy faces. Let's look at a few I met when I skied there on Tuesday.

Ticket manager Robin Nevel has been working at Mt. Abram for 27 years

When you go in the ski shop, chances are you'll deal with co-owner Susan Burns (on the left), who's also the GM

Need a lesson? Buzz Hollander, who has been teaching since hickory skis and leather thongs were in fashion, wants you to learn from him

Need a lift? Barry Nevel (Robin's husband) has been running Mt. Abram's Hall chairlift since it was built around 1970

Barry, who's Mt. Abram's uphill transport supervisor, gets my vote for the friendliest liftie in ski country!

Of course there were hundreds of happy customers, too.
