Went to a couple of places yesterday local to the camp
Partly just to get out, partly looking for new places to ski

The first was Peaked Mountain (1220) in Monson

It was about a half hour up to a open ledged summit. The views would have been great if the weather was better. Lots of side trails, many suitable for skiing. Some steep sections that were not (at least for me )



View to the north.... Monadnock and Wachusett are out there somewhere



This is the view to the west and the hill in the center is where we went to next
Minnechaug Mountain (908) in Hampden

Again, a lot of interconnecting trails. Some very suitable for skiing.
Very little open views. Too bad too, because this is part of the first ridge east of the Connecticut River where the open farm lands of the Pioneer Valley rise up to the hills

That's in my back yard.

Nice little mountain. Haven't been there in years.

That may be a nice road trip with the kids.

Thanks for the idea.
