When will the ski resorts in Pennsylvania Open?

Fall is now here and the snow will be coming soon. There is no guarantee opening day for the ski season in Pennsylvania. Most will start to open after Thanksgiving. At this time many of the ski resorts in Pa are starting to line up employees for the coming ski season and thinking about the first day when they can start blowing snow. Temp is the key element to getting the mountains open. Snow making is very pricey so no one wants to start blowing if they think it might melt the following week.

To keep up date on the Open day of each ski resort in Pennsylvania visit one of the many snow report web sites. Most of theses sites get there info from the ski resort and the weather channel. You can also set up ski report alerts with many of these web sites They will send you emails of the current ski conditions at your favorite resort. My guess for first day of skiing in Pennsylvania is Nov 23rd, 2006. We will all see soon. See you on the mountains.

The Why Every Vacation Home Needs Board Games.

The best way to make money with your vacation home in Pennsylvania is renting it out when your not using it. The best way to do this is to make sure ever family that stays at your house comes back the next five years. Studies show that most family would prefer to stay in the same house year after year. The way to keep families happy is make sure they have everything they need for the perfect vacation. Board games are one of the cheap ways of doing this. I find that most vacationers enjoy board games for after dinner entertainment. They are also great for rainy days or just lazy days.

It is important to have a good mix of games. You should have games for kids, young adults, adults and grandparents. I would suggest puzzles and cards for the grandparents, Poker sets are always a hit for the young adults and most kids enjoy games like monopoly or trivia. Some of my families favorites include Risk, Taboo, and Monopoly. Find cheap board games at Flea Markets and yard sales.
