We drove up to East Madison, NH on Friday evening. We left Chatham at 4pm and stopped for dinner at Chick-a-fil in Hanover, MA. We stayed in 2 rooms with 4 beds each at the Tecumseh Lodge. There were only a couple other guests, and we had the lodge lounge to ourselves for playing board games.
On Saturday morning, we ate a simple breakfast at the lodge with food that we brought. Then we got to King Pind Ski by 8am for getting our ski rental gear and lift tickets. Most of the scouts took a two-hour ski lesson since it was their first time skiing. After lessons, the new skiers did many runs on the bunny slope.
We went for an early lunch at the ski lodge. The temperature was a cool 30 in the early morning but warmed up to 50 by the afternoon. The snow conditions were good.
After lunch, all the scouts, even the first timers, wanted to take the lifts up the mountain. Their first few times down the slopes were slow with some wipeouts. But after a few runs, all the scouts were doing well and trying out all the different lifts. The skiing was not crowded, and we were able to take many runs.
On the drive home, we stopped for dinner at Wild Willy’s Burgers which have the best burgers and fries in my opinion.
