*OUR PHILOSOPHY ON WHETHER TO OPEN OR NOT...if there's snow and we think people will come in the weather that's happening, we will be open! If efforts to open are hampered by Mother Nature, mechanical failure, staffing levels, or other surprises, we'll change the recording on the Snow Phone as quickly as possible. If the message on the machine doesn't state otherwise, we plan on being open!
**Yes...it is a resort..."an area where many people go for recreation"!
***"The Seacoast" is a region centered on Portmouth, NH that includes the surrounding towns of New Hampshire and Southern Maine.
