[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are looking at Hanover, NH  or Woodstock, VT. I went to Dartmouth and we’ve spent some time in the area since then. But it would be only for the fall/winter and probably only for a few years. I think once we are mid 70s we will want to be in a warmer place. [/quote]

I'm curious, why would you spend the colder months in a colder place? Where would you spend the spring and summer? [/quote]

Because we like winter and skiing (hence the reason we probably would give it up in mid 70's), and we already have a beach house where we will spend spring/summer.

I'm always amazed when I ski midweek how many retirees I run into who ski 60-100 days a season. Obviously not full days, but they are getting out there multiple days a week. That's what I want for at least a few years.[/quote]

I love your commitment to healthy, active, outdoor living! My only comment on this is that it's not clear skiing will continue to be as available as it has been, due to lack of snow. Have you been reading about all the ski resorts in Switzerland? There's hardly any snow on the ground. And they expect this to be a trend, not just in Europe, but elsewhere. It's very dismaying! Just something to think about if you're planning a retirement around frequent skiing. [/quote]
