With all the family-visiting, turkey and stuffing, beer and football going on this long weekend, one can be forgiven for being a little distracted.

Or just downright sleepy, depending on your own own personal tryptophan level.

But when you snap out of your turkey torpor, remember that the Downeast Ski Club Ski Sale Sale is going on Saturday from 8 to 5 at the Portland Expo.

There'll be plenty of poking around and bargain hunting to be done. And you may just come away with a couple of good deals on skis and accessories.

Remember too that both Sunday River and Sugarloaf are open for the holiday weekend. There isn't a great deal of snow or trails open yet, but won't it feel good to get out and take a few turns?

You bet. See you on the lift!

You got ski plans this weekend???
