"Ski the East" is a series of articles written as I uncover the culture and vibe of skiing from maritime Canada to the northeast United States. From backcountry to front, I explore the love of eastern snow one ski area at a time. This is Part II in the series. To begin the journey, visit the "Ski the East :: An Odyssey" link at the top of this page.

“If you’re serious about skiing, go to Wentworth.”
That’s what Nova Scotians said when they found out I was
visiting from Utah to check out the ski areas of maritime Canada. I had been
skiing Martock, a 600’ vertical ski hill located northwest of Halifax, for the
past few days and had exhausted the tiny hill’s offerings. Wentworth was an
extra 45-minute drive from my location but from the sounds of it, it was a mandatory visit.
It was bigger. It had tree skiing. It had a ski team. And on
and on, the reasons came as to why I should travel to the popular ski area that
rested in the middle of nowhere. And since my travels to the east are primarily
to research skiing, I made the trip.
