...more miles (71) of trails than any other mountain in New England. Although it is pretty far south, Snow can be one of the best. It gets crowded on weekends and is a haven for jet-setters, but on weekdays in mid-winter you may do okay. The back slope has some very good expert slopes and the whole front face of the mountain is a intermediate's dream. Outdoor, steam-heated pool is an extra, added attraction. 127 miles from Boston...
Hundreds of Basques struggled up a steep slope to the burial place every day last week. Women left flowers, young peasants took photographs, priests led small groups in prayer.

By the time the I reached Edenderry Field, suitcoats were off, bowlers tipped back, ties pulled down and disordered. Edenderry is an expansive horseshoe-shaped slope and the speakers' platform was tucked away in one corner under some trees--almost, it seemed, on purpose. Most of the revelers just lounged around on the grass, eating, drinking, or trying to get over hangovers from drinking earlier in the day. And only a small crowd gathered around the platform...
