The Granite State is known for its massive rock formations, impressive peaks, and the charming New England settlements scattered amongst their foothills. In the winter months, these same quaint towns turn into gateways to some of the most expansive and interesting cross country ski terrain around.

As the holidays approach and ski season with them, folks may find themselves scrambling for exciting winter getaways that are remote enough to be interesting, yet close enough to be accessible. In such moments, Mont-Tremblant, the quaint resort town nestled in the Laurentian mountains, less than a two hour’s drive north of Montreal—offers east-coasters the luxury and adventure of more far-flung destinations, without the hassle.

Hungry? In this era of local food and fresh produce that emerged out of the slow food movement of the early 2000’s, a new wave of regional food markets has cropped up. Check out the Farmer's Market update. Link in bio.

Depending on where you live, you may already be hearing the rustle of dry leaves kicked up as you walk down the road or smelling the sweet air of browning fields in harvest time. Yes, fall is upon us already. And so, it should come as no surprise (though it always, always does) that the mornings are starting to cause shivers and cold feet, sending us back into our closets for another layer.
