On and off (the hill)..agian

This weekend we invaded the lake region of New Hampshire and laid siege to the Hipple household for three days of skiing, game playing, ping-pong, music, and good times.  Getting together with this group of friends en mass is always just what the doctor ordered.  Saturday the kids got to enjoy the majesty of Abnaki ski area, a small municipal ski hill that is pure awesome.

Thanks to Sarah the kids mastered the rope-tow, and who doesn't enjoy a nice sugar buzz while sitting around the unmistakeable ambiance of a crowded ski lodge!

This place is pure gold and it has ruined other ski destinations for my kids.  If you love small, community run ski hills then check out this movie: United We Ski.

Then Sunday we headed up to Waterville Valley to watch Jackson kill it in a freeskiing competition.  Then back to homebase to tip a few back and keep warm with old friends.
