CONWAY — While the Mount Washington Valley has long been a mecca for skiers, hikers and more, a new collaborative approach is expanding our recreational offerings to outdoor enthusiasts like never before.
“What people are looking for nowadays, particularly millennials, is a life-experience driven lifestyle that is playing in the outdoors. It combines a life and work option that makes a lot of sense to lot of people,” said Tyler Ray, a 41-year-old lawyer who has used that technical knowledge to help work out easements and agreements with landowners and the U.S. Forest Service for backcountry skiing at Intervale’s Maple Villa and South Baldface in Chatham.

Terrific article about wonderful coordination in the Valley toward seeing the gold in the Whites. The outdoors is "in", and the Valley will have many happy years ahead by recognizing that. Of course, for many of us, the outdoors has always been "in," but it's great to spread the enthusiasm and encourage like-minded Valley folk to share the spirit. Thanks for this great summary of what has been gestating, even if the article could not mention every partner like the White Mountain Milers, the ski race nurture programs at King Pine, Cranmore and beyond, the pioneering work of Andrew Drummond with Ski the Whites and in skin skiing generally at Black, and many more examples too numerous to mention. Kudos to one and all.
