I've played around far skiers left in the northface area and enjoyed it. Are there other areas I should play around in? This may be a really stupid question considering it is Mount Snow, but are there any side country stashes around? A little hiking is fine by me.

Actually, you're in luck! Apparently Mt. Snow is 101% open, that's right an extra 1%

I'm thinking of heading to magic tomorow, what can I expect for lines there, will be my first time and I see there are only 2 lifts.

And if anyone can point out the good glade runs on the mountain it would be great!

old plans was driving from Albany to Jay Sat morning (but I'd think it take us 6-7 hours driving thru the storm.)

new plans = Magic & a foot of pow Saturday, then driving up North and doing Jay on Sunday.

awesome.

How about endless pow, best southern vt terrain, and no lift lines...................................for the second time in four days!
Look out Magic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just tried booking a room near Magic. One guy practically laughed at me when i asked if they had any rooms still available. Ended up 1/2 hour away but will be at Magic at some point this weekend.

Toying with the idea of hitting Pico on Saturday and Magic on Sunday.. Maybe Magic both days.. so hard to choose

On the map good areas similar in both pitch, and quality to that portion of The Trials that you mentioned would be Dark Side of the Moon in the Sunbrook area (stay to the right and it keeps on going, to the left dumps you out rather quickly onto Sunspot).

Also, on the main face, hit Sap Tapper (next to Ego Alley). Keep to the right after the first flat and the two headwalls that will come at you are an absolute blast!

In general though right now at Mount Snow, just about any set of trees in between the trails (whether on the map or not) were skiable and great last weekend BEFORE this weeks, and tonights/tommorrows storm put down all their snow, so if the space between the trees is wide enough to turn in, go for it!

Magic isn't exactly known for being crowded, so I doubt you'll have any problems. That said I've never been on a weekend, let alone a powder weekend day. When I've gone mid-week we always ski right on the chair, and that is with only one lift running...

BTW; Welcome to the forums!

Terrific, I will study the map and follow your advice. Thanks!

Magic, Flatton, or Mt. Snow???!

C'mon. Read the other thread going on about Magic. It's a no-brainer. Enjoy.
