Do you plan on skiing anywhere new this season????

[Grassi21]

Tremblant, Sugarbush, and MRG

 

[deadheadskier]

Oh another that I'm considering as it's close by and cheap. Black Mountain, NH. Anyone ever ski there? Opinions?

After changing jobs to a place with more time off, I'm hoping to take advantage and try two places out West this year:
--I'm definitely hitting Banff in early March, trying Lake Louise and Sunshine Village. Possibly a day trip over to Kicking Horse, but I don't want to spread myself too thin over just one week.
--I'm still undecided on the other trip--I usually hit Vail/BC late Jan/early Feb, but I'm thinking of forgoing that for either the Cottonwood Canyon circuit in Utah or Steamboat, neither of which I've tried before.

I don't think I'm hitting anything new in the East, but maybe hitting one or two that I haven't been to in several years, so it'll at least feel new, like MRG, Gunstock, or (if they're open this year) Tenney. Does anyone know the status of Tenney?

I'll probally hit up Blue knob in PA sometime this year. There may be a day trip to Gore in January when the wifey and I are up at Whiteface. We will be doing a trip out to CO in march, not sure where we're going yet but Crested Butte was mentioned at the end of last years trip.

Black Mt is great--as old school as it gets. It's an older, mom-and-pop-type place, so as long as you aren't hung-up on vertical drop stats or having the latest/fastest lifts, it's great. No lift lines or having to look over your shoulder all the time on the way down, even on weekends. And cheap, especially for a family.

I always feel a bit guilty when going to Wildcat, driving by Jackson (which is why I take the Rt-2 way there now, rather than Rt-302). ;-)

I don't have any particular areas that I am hoping to ski, but I want to try and get a place in Ct. so I can cross that state off my list.

Zakopane in Poland, with any luck.

i go here a couple of times per year. i only go after or during a big storm. sun junks up the snow fast. if its a deep pow day and a weekend or holiday week, do yourself a favor and exit the traffic jam going to the big areas and check it out. lots of fun little shots all over (need deep snow to really have fun here though).

 

[kingslug]

Sugarbush, which I can't believe I never hit. Montana would be great if I can get a good deal. And maybe another CO hill, A basin, Loveland.

Hopefully, MRG.

I'm going to be home in either late november, or early december. I want to go somewhere I've never gone before, but has decent snow coverage to still be fun. Really leaning towards Whiteface, but who knows if they'll have enough snow or even be open yet.

 

[Bkroon9175]

I hope to ski Cannon this year as well as Sutton. I added Orford, Owl's Head, Yawgoo Valley to my list last year.

 

[ERJ-145CA]

Hopefully a new place in the Poconos, maybe Blue. Also I'm hoping to try a Berkshires area, and maybe Stowe, if I'm up that way. Plus I'll try to ski another Catskills area besided Belleayre or Hunter.

Unless there is a dump I would head to jay. It wont be good up here till mid january

I am heading to Big Sky in late march for a week.

I think my liftserved menu is going to be rather bland this year. I am hoping to get a few more new BC tours in this season. Maybe some on the franconias, the Northern Presi's, Double Barrel, some other goodies.

I hear the Slovak side is cheaper and less crowded.

Me, I'm planning on Whiteface/Gore

 

[eatskisleep]

On a powder day, or the day or two or three after a powder day; Black Mountain of NH is the place to be.

that confirms it for me. I will try Black Mountain and resist the urge to go to Wildcat.

Since PA and NY offer a 4th grade snowpass which entitles your 9 year old to free lift tickets at various mountains, I plan to try some new places. I'd like to hit up Blue, Elk, Hunter and Belleayre
