Though I don't get to downhill ski as much as I used to I like skiing history, hence NHskier.
First came to Winnipesaukee in the '60s on vacations with my parents. Stayed in a rental up behind what's now the Winnipesaukee Marketplace at the Weirs. I still remember the freight train passing by, and having to pay (25 cents?) to use the public beach.
During the past 10 years the Weirs area has become one of our favorite day trips from our home in the Concord area. I've spent hours enjoying the boat parade through the channel, the girls enjoy the beach, and we always have a great day relaxing.
Last fall we took the plunge and bought our first boat, and are renting a slip at Thurston's. We only had about 6 weeks with the boat last season and are really looking forward to this year and getting to know the lake!
