Frommer's Great Outdoor Guide to New England
"One of the best ski guides I have ever read is Stephen Jermanok's Great Outdoor Guide to New England, and the book isn't even a ski guide - it's a complete guide to all outdoor activities in New England. What makes Jermanok's book so good is his style. In describing Mad River Glen, his very first paragraph captures the essence of the place in three short sentences:
Rustbucket Subaru wagons with Vermont license plates often have a bumper sticker offering the following dare: "Mad River Glen: Ski It If You Can." No lie. Mad River Glen is the nastiest lift-served ski area in the East, a combination of rocks, ice, trees - and snow; of course. It's truly a place where skiing seems a little removed from a mountain's gnarled, primal state."

"This book was all I needed to plan a getaway weekend on Cape Cod with my wife. We were short on planning time, and this book recommended a place to stay and some great hikes. If you want to get away in New England and spend your time outdoors, Jermanok's research is right on the mark!"

"The range of activities in this guide is impressive, covering everything from good bird-watching locations to mountain biking trails to the toughest mountain peaks to climb."
~ United Airlines' Hemispheres
"Mr. Jermanok's highly opinionated writing style will make you laugh and, most importantly, direct you to the right location. We've taken many of his hikes, bike rides, and canoe trips and found them all to be wonderful! He's done a thorough job researching New England and it shows. Very few other people except locals know these special outdoor areas exist."
