The right side of the tracks - X-Country skiing in the White Mt's of NH.

Managing Real Estate Broker with Alpine Lakes Real Estate Inc., NHRE# 02863

I live in the beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire directly beside a seasonal tourist Train track.In the winter  it becomes a Snowmobile corridor and a great place to Cross Country ski (snowmobile treads are perfect for preparing the snow for cross country skiing).

The Old Boston and Maine line...runs along the Pemigewasset River Valley - a Few miles from Loon Mountain.

The View Of Lafayette - Liberty and Little Hay Stack are a great bonus to this intense workout - along the river.

A Little further north we get in to the New Hampshire State forest, and the ski slopes of Cannon Mt Resort.

Back Over the Trestle Bridge and a turn for home (if you get the chance to ride the dinner train in the summer or early fall I highly recommend it...the Cafe Lafayette...rides the rails and serves a six course meal with a view)

 As much fun as cross country skiing over this bridge is - Imagine swinging from a rope and launch in to the river when the weather is warmer and the summer has arrived.

Time to get off the tracks and do some bush whacking along the river...breaking the (un-tracked) crusty stuff is a serious work out. But on the return trip home I took a short cut through the woods - to check out the river close up.

Back in time for the sunset...I logged 5 miles on my Cross Country ski tour today, I hope you enjoyed the trip with me. The Pemigewasset River Between Woodstock and Lincoln New Hampshire made for a good photo journey this afternoon.

The Final Frame to my Cross Country ski trip this after Noon...Two hours of quiet solitude and the joy of nature.

If you have an hour or two I recommend you get outside every day...this is the reasons I live in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

Thanks for taking me on ski tour with you. You have a beautiful setting. If you ever get to Western Colorado, in the winter, I'll be happy to guide you on some of our Nordic Trails. I highly recommend the ones around Telluride and outside of Ouray. In Ouray you can ski around an old ghost town. We love to stop for lunch here.

I Have one more shot of the river from today...I spotted a beaver dam ( snow covered of course) but I know they are there by the chewed up trees near by.

Steve,  Beautiful photos!  They all speak peacefulness, quiet and a place where one can be one with nature.  I like your advice.  There are days I do not get outside.  I always feel better when I do!!!

Steve,

Spectacular shots. We haven't had any snow here in Maryland at all this year...and I miss it...a little.

I really enjoy the winter in the mountains - but for the record, here is a shot of the Dinner Train crossing one of the very same Trestle bridges I crossed on skis today.
