Spring has sprung.


    Spring is in the air in the Mount Washington Valley. Well technically it will be here in a few weeks, but the early signs are here. Ice is melting on the lakes and rivers and you can actually see little buds on some of the trees. Snow is melting off of the Pirates Cove Adventure Golf Course connected to the Hotel.
    The ski resorts will have great skiing through at least late March. Cyclists are cleaning the cobwebs off their bikes and hitting the classic Mt. Washington Valley rides, and runners are out running in droves. For folks who get their exercise from shopping, the shops are having amazing end of winter sales.  
    One of the best spring time rituals is the maple sugaring season. Its a favorite pastime of locals and visitors alike. So much fun to drive around, observing all of the buckets attached to the trees collecting sap which will be turned into delicious syrup for pancakes and waffles.  Maple sugaring is a  ritual here in the valley. Maple sugar weekend is March 23rd and 24th.  Come and taste the final products fresh from the sugar shacks!  Call us directly for great rates.
