Not too early to think skiing!

AMC guide points out animal tracks on a cross-country ski
expedition at Great Glen, near Wildcat Mountain in NH.
If the flakes last week got you in the skiing mood, the Massachusetts DCR (617-626-1250) offers a great site for places near and far to cross-country ski, and also offers resources for adjacent downhill ski areas.

Another great central site to search for ski opportunities is the Appalachian Mountain Club. Join the AMC for discounts on their White Mountain Lodges like Joe Dodge, near Great Glen (and Wildcat for the alpine skiers among us).

If you're not into skiing but your kids are, sign them up with the venerable (since 1969) Massachusetts Ski & Snowboard Club, which will bus them every weekend to a different ski area in New England, for quite affordable rates.
