Taking care of ski bummery business was yesterday's theme. Fortunately, some of that business was happening at Attitash, in Bartlett, N.H.

Motoring northwest with my ski buddy Anne Tarbell of South Portland, I took care of some journalistic business at The Mountain Ear newspaper in Conway before heading over to Attitash. We skied the east side of the two-peak area and picked up some lift tickets that I'll give away at the next meeting of the Maine Outdoor Adventure Club on Dec. 5.

Communications director Krissy Fraser noted that the favorable snowmaking weather was forecast to continue, and she projected bigger trail counts for the upcoming weekend.

We also had a nice chat regarding the improvements and business philosophy of the new owners, Peak Resorts.

Snowmaking was in full force yesterday and the forecast is optimistic for the next few days.

On the way home, we took care of Anne's supply of Burger King two-fer coupons, pigging out on a fireside feast and splitting the total bill of $10.36.

Isn't that honest-to-goodness ski bummery?

Continuing back to Portland, Anne acquired some raw materials for her handicrafts hobby/business and I dropped off my new skis for binding adjustment at Sports Haus in Bridgton.
