    Middlebury Snow Bowl

    Does anyone know if they run the Bailey Falls lift only on the wknds? I'd like to get there tomorrow but only if both lifts are running. They are only reporting 6" of new snow which doesn;t seem right given what other neighboring mtns have rcvd. A direct message to them on FB yielded nothing.

    Staying at Alta or Snowbird?

    My brother and I are going to Utah the 3rd week of March on the Mtn Collective pass. I originally wanted to stay in Salt Lake to have the flexibility of the 3 mtns each day + see some of the city. My brother hated the idea and wants to be slopeside. I'm not going to try to convince him...

    Best Route to Sugarbush from 89 N?

    Will be heading up after work next Tuesday, staying near MRG (Hyde a Way) and skiing Mt Ellen on Wed. Have seen reports in the past that Exit 5 (Roxbury Gap) is not recommended for winter travel.

    Sunapee 1-23-16

    Headed to Sunapee for the AM...easy 1 hr ride for me. I typically avoid Sunapee at all costs between XMas and Early March in the wknds as it likely sits only behind Loon in skier visits in NH. But I had a SkiNH voucher to burn and they had most of the mtn open so I gave it a shot. Driving in I...
