I was born and raised in New England and have been to every state here except for Maine. The New Year had to start off with a bang so of course a weekend trip was in order. With friends like mine planning a trip like this was easy. The adventure spirit flows through our veins. It was the first ski trip of the season, after a long 9 months of waiting we were beyond ready.
Two of us were leaving from Rhode Island, picking up Meg on the way in Massachusetts, and ending at Julia's house in Maine.
We crossed all three lanes on I-95, rushed into the breakdown lane, got honked at by 18-wheelers, and got some crazy looks but taking this picture was totally worth it.
Friday night was spent walking around downtown Portland. We took a ton of pictures and went into a million boutiques. After walking for an eternity we grabbed coffee from an amazing shop then had dinner at a restaurant called nosh (pro tip- they have flavored french fries! Do yourself a favor and get the salt & vinegar one's 10/10 would recommend).
We woke up insanely early on Saturday and followed the sunrise to the mountain.
We skied for two days and we skied hard. Monday we went to the outlets and then headed back to the 401.
Sunday River is located in Newry, ME. They have 16 lifts and 9 different peaks. Two days of skiing there and we didn't even make it to all the peaks.
