As our journalist drives through the ski mountain in Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, he notices that the skiers and snowboarders who have come to Stoneham are disappointed with the start of the season.
“It's perfect for the slope school, but otherwise it leaves a lot to be desired. I think it's one of the worst years for the beginning of the year. “It’s getting better,” said one skier.
“I think it's sad. I'm glad I don't have a $20,000 snowmobile. “My skis cost less,” jokes another man.

To the delight of athletes, cross-country skiing is possible around the mountain.
No significant snow accumulation is expected next week.
