Looks like they're picking up snow as we speak:

More Fri/Sat as I understand it. I think you'll like the bumps on Off-Stage if they still have them, bvibert. Really mellow pitch and a good run to practice on:

Awesome, things are looking like it'll be a good weekend! I'll have to give Off-Stage a shot, looks like fun.

I am usually an 8:00 am on the slopes kind of guy but she needed to sleep in, hence the late arrival!

The lines were not bad at any of the lifts. I at first was griping about that from the car to the base, but it was not an issue. The only problem we encountered was at the turqoise lift, a line formed becuase the lift kept stopping. I think it was because of people having issues at the mid station and not mechanical.

I just read the article posted under the AlpinzeZone news dated 3/15 about the increase visits to Catamount.

As a Butternut passholder and discovering that 10 minutes further down the road and the same $199 deal, I may break my 6yr season pass purchase and do a Catamount one for 05-06.

season passes

I purchased season passes for me, my wife, and 3 kids to catamount without breaking the bank! 199 for adults is an awesome deal.

I will still take a couple of trips up to VT to ski the Bush, but having a local place just 70 miles from home with a low price pass is great. Easy to drive up in the AM, ski all day, and drive home in time to make dinner....or to drive up after work for some night skiing.

I tried butternut, but the lines were way too long, the slopes too crowded, and the ski school reg. for the kids was just mass confusion. It's catamount for us.

Ya know, compared to Butternut, what Catamount lacks in amount of terrain, it makes up in challenging terrain. I went to Catamount once so far this season (hope to visit again) and I enjoyed it a lot.
