[quote]Being a western transplant to the New Jersey area I am feeling lost in the winter sports area.
No more heading out my back door for some snow filled fun... where's a girl to go???


Any tips for "day trip distance" snow shoe fun in the New Jersey area will be greatly appreciated. [/quote

I would say, MOVE........northern New England has quite a bit of snow.........not the champagne powduh of the Wasatch but certainly snowshoe and ski variety.

Where in NJ are you -northern or southern..........the Poconos in Penn. get some snow.........West Virginia in the mtns gets snow and of course Vermont for norrthern NE is closest to you...........with, I think, the best snow in the east.............

Fort Kent, Maine has had 10 feet of snow this season!!!!!! The snowbanks in our "little village" at Sunday River are five to six feet high..........the Western Mtns of Maine are great this year............

You just have to travel.............

What made you leave the West?
