I know a lot of people may have forgotten about it, but along with winter generally comes snow. This season Mother Nature has been holding out on us, but we have managed to make do with what we've got. This happens to be a whole lot of snow machines. Being a student from Plymouth State University, there are a variety of mountains that are close by, including one of my favorites, Loon Mountain. I have the privilege to ride two or three days a week at Loon, and over the past four years, I have learned a lot about the mountain and the area surrounding it.

Between the Kancamagus Highway and exit 32 on Route 95 lies Lincoln and Woodstock NH. This area is a classic ski town. As you drive in from 93 you are bombarded with ski shops and local restaurants. All of which I drive by without a glance in anticipation of going snowboarding. However, if you're looking for a new board, skis, or you're new to the sport and are looking for rentals, make a quick stop at Lahout's. Their customer service is great, and they have an amazing selection of gear, and knowledgable people who love the sport. Don't let their multiple locations fool you, look for the one with the old gondola outside, that's where their skis and snowboards are located.
