Greetings from Maine, where my sweetheart Marilyn and I are transitioning from several days of absolutely splendid Alpine skiing at Saddleback and Sugarloaf to what should be several days of exceptional backcountry Nordic skiing.
We got up early and skied into Stratton Brook Hut, the westernmost and newest hut of the current four in the Maine Huts and Trails system. You can see the layout at mainehuts.org, or give them a call at 207-265-2400. We’ll overnight at Stratton Brook and then ski to Poplar Hut, 10 miles away, which was the first of the huts, overnight there and then ski back to our car. That’ll leave us two more Maine Huts – Flagstaff and Grand Falls – to explore some other time (probably by kayak this summer).![]()
