During the past tournaments a "family" rink was available in front of Lago

I am planning on hitting the slopes as there is less crowd during Superbowl weekend. (What's Superbowl this year???)

The beer tent sounds inviting for apre ski!

My wife and I took a ride to Meredith just after lunch (at Village Kitchen) and the place was just alive with people, dogs, motorized conveyances, to include a helicopter, huts, woodstoves, hospitality tents, grills, American flags, sticks, skates, pucks, and anything else you can imagine.

As we sat in the parking lot by the docks area we were transformed from reality (as presented in the newspapers and the daily TV news) to Americana at its best.
All I can say is, "Way to go, people, enjoy life and keep on keepin' on!!"

Wow, what a great time! Saw some old friends too! I went for a helicopter ride and that was a blast. The only thing missing was the throng of snowmobiles. What a bummer about the lack of snow. It certainly made walking around interesting. I wish I had brought my skates.

What a great weekend! I saw many forum folks there including Hazelnut, Samiam (I believe), Baygo, and Cristen.

The restaurants were packed and people were having fun. Can't wait until next year!

The "Locals", the under 35 "for fun" team came in second place. The skaters are from Moultonborough and Plymouth. Congratulations to them.

was there Friday to watch my nephew and sister in law play. We had lunch at Lakeside Deli, was packed when we first went in, but cleared just before 2 so we had the place pretty much to ourselves. My four year old grandson claimed the best burger he ever had. The BLT was really good too. We watched them play from accross the street from Lakeside. Grandson delighted he could go on ice. Only reason I let him was because it was a couple of inches deep. Would have stayed longer but it was so cold

This is the fourth Classic I have played in and it just gets better every year. 200 teams and 1400 players and at the end of the weekend Lago smelled like a locker room. I was comfortable there. They had a major challenge again this year with the ice.

Are the dates set for next year? Do you know if it will always be held on SuperBowl weekend?

It always has been Superbowl weekend so I assume next year will be the same.
