You’re more prepared than I am. You’re fine, sounds like you thought of everything.

Verizon is probably your best bet. No matter what carrier, there will still be dead zones throughout the state outside of Southern NH.

There is very little diversity with food up here. I’m a southerner originally as well. I cook most of my own food because it’s a bunch of fast food, pizza, and steak houses around here (and not even good one).

I’m glad I’ll be doing more midweek than weekend. I couldn’t imagine having to deal with that nonsense. If I do go weekends, I get there early and stay warm in the lodge. Bring some hot cocoa or coffee in a thermos for the line and lift.

Sunapee is close by, so that’s my home resort. Midweek is great, weekends are iffy depending on how many lifts they have open and if every Masshole and their mother decides to ski there that weekend.

Manchester and Nashua are the bigger hubs, but look at the Hooksett, Derry, Bedford areas. Also, look at areas around Concord. Keene is a decent area as well. Cute downtown area.
