Where are you skiing this week?

[MarzNC]

Difficulty levels, Whiteface vs Vermont hills? We had a couple Olympics here.

Would be curious to hear about this from the alpine skiers on here.

The range of types of ski areas/resorts in Vermont is vast. From tiny hills to full-blown resorts with luxury slopeside lodging, and everything in between. Fair to say there is plenty of terrain for all ability levels in Vermont.

If a traveling family (>4 hr drive) includes kids who are still beginners or cautious intermediates (perhaps a parent too), much better places to go in Vermont than Whiteface. My ski buddy who lives in Cleveland drove to Smuggs for family ski vacations when his daughter was little. I know of people in PA who like Smuggs as a family destination.

I mean I heart NY and all but come on. Of course Vermont gets more visits.

The question is why?
More Epic (Stowe, Okemo, Mount Snow) & Ikon (Big K-Pico, Stratton, Sugarbush) joints me thinks.

Ski3 don’t come close.

The question is why

do we want more visits?

do we want more visits?

ORDA has dropped the ball marketing Mt van Ho.

There used to be a lot more people here on weekends. Last winter, the best in 10 years, way too quiet.

They waited until a month before to post about the Lake Placid Loppet, while NENSA posts its whole entire race schedule by December.

For the first time ever, the 3 kids & I are all skiing someplace different for the first time of the season. Oldest did Whiteface, Middle is at Peek & Peek Saturday/Sunday, and the Youngest going to Bristol Thursday. I may be the last one out of the gate at Swain on Sunday. Sadly, none of us can make it to Snow Ridge.

Thursday I will hit either Belleayre or Gore, likely Belle.

Saturday and/or Sunday will stay local at Catamount or maybe even Bousquet.
