Where Will You Ski This Year for 1st Time?

KingM · Nov 19, 2007, 5:00 AM

I always want to ski somewhere new each year. My modest goal this year is Middlebury Snow Bowl. It's only about 1/2 hour from where I live and the tickets are cheap. My son and I hiked through last summer where the Long Trail crosses SB and even though it was covered in grass I found myself checking out the trails and planning some skiing.

How about you? Anywhere new this year? Why that particular resort?

Sugarbush and possibly MRG because of the AZ gathering. I havn't made any reservations yet because of family issues but I am definately doing my best to make it.

I have season pass' at Crystal mountain, Michigan, and Abasin, Colorado, however, the way I'm feeling right now is like I'll never ski again.

Stratton since I won a ticket there. Okemo because I've been sitting on a gift certificate there for 2 years now. Who knows where else the season will bring me.

Most likely it will be Crotched ...

I skied Mount Snow on Friday 11/16, it was my first time there. The reason: it was the closest mountain that was open during the day on Friday.

I want to get around a lot since I'll have plenty of opportunities and don't have a pass this year. I've already got plans for Jay, Stratton, and a trip to Snowbird & Alta. I hope to make it to Wildcat, Sugarbush, and MRG for the first time, too.

Crotched is on my list as well... a friend of mine ski patrols there, and they (the ski patrol) get a stack of lift tickets to give to friends every day... so it'll be new, it'll be free, and it'll be skiing with a friend who can save me if I end up making good friends with a tree / lift tower... what's not to love?
