They flew Glasgow to Newark then to Boston. After that it was a 3 hr bus trip to the resort. The hotel was the Inn of the Six Mountains and was lovely, no problems there. They had a 10 day holiday and the weather was sunny some days, always cold and in the afternoons it could get very cold really quickly. They booked through First Choice travel agents and it was an Ingham ski trip.
The resort was mainly restaurants in the area within walking distance of the hotel. Two mini marts for food and snacks were easily accessable and there were a few ski stores for clothes and equipment all within a 10 minute walk from the hotel. The hotel was very central in the town with all the shops and restaurants within 10 -15 min walk each way.
The hotel ran the shuttle bus to the slopes each day and was a great service approx every 30 mins. Up on the mountain there were 5 base stations with coffee and snack facilities and the one Keith used had lockers for hire so they could leave their boots and helmets each day. Less stuff to carry on the shuttle!!
There were a few bars which the boys went to at night but as they were so tired they didn't stay out very late, they used the pool and hot tub in the hotel to relax and prepare them for the next day ski-ing. The pool and hot tub were all included in the hotel price which was great as once when in Europe they had to pay a few euros every time they wanted a swim.
All in all they had a great time and even after the quite long journey there and back Keith says he would definetly go again.
