If you’re a golfer or tennis player, your next visit to this New Hampshire hotel may make you feel even more at home than usual. Golf & Ski Warehouse has set up a branch store right here on resort grounds. Not only that, golf/tennis chief Rick Toland says that unlike most shops at other hotels, this one will charge you very reasonable prices. The Balsams has adopted Golf & Ski’s pricing structure, which means the prices here will generally be the same as those at Warehouses in shopping centers or malls, minus the sales tax (New Hampshire doesn’t have one).

A busy Gary Armitage takes a few minutes to speak with The Balsams Blog regarding this NH resort’s commitment to effective business meetings. Armitage is Vice President of Sales and New Business Development here, and like most veeps these days, he’s keeping a wary eye on the business environment.
