One sidenote... My girlfriend collects ski pins.. Doesnt wear them just collects them... She asked where the pins were at the Cog.. The woman pointed to them and Alexa reached to grab one.. But they put all these china plates under where the pins go... As she was reaching her sleve knocked over a plate and broke it..
The woman was pissed and made her pay for it... We paid just to shut the "B" up but we're going to write a letter... It was like they want people to break the stuff...

Yep, sounds like the crew that is now running that area (including Flatten Woods)...it's all about the money. Used to be a decent place to ski but they've gone nuts with the ticket rate and priced us locals out.

I tried to plan a family vacation in that area last season, but none of the hotels or B&B's I called allowed kids under the age of 12. So, since I have 3 boys under the age of 12, we didn't go there. Probably never will because a rule like that is just lame.

The people sounded very hoity-toity.

Your kids are used to skiing challenging terrain... BW would bore them..

Well, BW claims to be a "family resort," which now translates into the Kennedy's. It used to be geared towards all members of the family so I'm surprised that they are not allowing kids anymore. In a short period of time their holiday day rate went from like $42 to now almost $60 and IT'S STILL 1500 VERTICAL FEET!!! They're trying to be everything that they are not I guess....but they've succeeded in brainwashing people from Boston.

It is in a nice location, DMC. I grew up in the NEK in the shadow of Burke...going home was nice on Friday, but now I'm back in the ratrace of Boston (I'm looking forward to heading out soon )
