JACKSON — Backcountry skiing is having a moment. Throughout Northern New Hampshire in western Maine, outdoor lovers are heading to the glades away from the crowds and “earning their turns”
FRYEBURG, Maine â Local snowmobile rental outfitters agree that demand for snow machines has been way up over past years, once the snow arrived.
âFor the end of January and February, we pretty much sold out every weekend and midweek has also been good,â said Michael Scontas of Northeast Snowmobile & ATV Rentals of Gorham and Fryeburg (northeastsnowmobile.com; 800-458-1838).
âThis Saturday and Sunday, we are booking 100 percent and expect it to continue to be strong as March moves along but we are facing the possibility of a quick warmup next week so after this weekend we will continue to play it by ear,â he added.
