Wachusett - usual haunt in the evening once or twice a week
Magic - want to hit it up on the weekends after some good snow
Bridger Bowl/Big Sky - got a MT trip lined up hopefully
Mt Snow - gotta get there this season
Killington - just because I normally end up there at some point

Places I'd like to go to if possible this season:

Burke
Jay Peak
Saddleback
Snowbird (unlikely though :()

a lot depends on snow - as in whether or not there it snows. If it does I will hit the Beast and Magic and Gore and , hopefully, Hickory Hollow.

Also planning a President's week trip to Le Massif and Ste. Anne with a stop at Jay on the way home. May head up to Jay or Sugarbush between Xmas and New Years as well.

Mount Snow a whole bunch as always :)

And this year since my daughter is old enough and tested into the new J6 age group race program at Mount Snow, hopefully a few other areas around Southern/Central Vermont that will host a race for J6's so I can be the proud Dad watching :)

Gunstock - family passes 20 plus times

Maybe a long weekned up in Conway with the family and hit Wildcat and Bretton Woods

Smuggs if the sis/bro-inlaw invite us to stay at their house a 1/2 hr away

Hopefully a random guys weekend somewhere...or should I say ANYWHERE.

You guys should really try to hit Black.

Definites

Wawa- usual 1 night a week with a pass.

Probable

Sugarbush- been 15+ years since I was there as a kid, barely remember a thing about it. Tops on my list for a weekend trip.

Sunapee- I usually end up here for at least 1 day a year.

Sunday River- The place my Dad always goes to. I always fail at convincing him to try someplace new.

Maybe

Cannon- want to check out how it is with Mittersill now lift served.

MRG- hope to get there if I go to Sugarbush for a long weekend.

Gunstock, Ragged- both easy day trips similar to Sunapee.

Mount Snow, Jay- the other 2 places my Dad goes to.

Loon- haven't been there since south peak opened. Maybe tie it in with Cannon.

Killingon, Pico- maybe a weekend trip.

Attitash, Black, Cranmore, Wildcat- might do a trip to the Conway area.


Is there any place that's not on my list?

Yeah I know, It just seemed like I named almost all major areas. I even thought of adding Stowe, Sugarloaf and Saddleback to my list. A guy can dream.

Recently posted something on my site about this. Definitely want to try the following places which will be new to me:

* Eastern Townships of Quebec (Sutton, Orford, Owl’s Head)
* Whiteface and Gore, perhaps some ADK backcountry
* Chic Chocs
* The Balsams

Still on my list of places to ski include Dartmouth, Whaleback, Black (ME), Middlebury, and Suicide Six but these are not definites this coming season. My definites list is going to take some commitment and determination given the distances involved for me. Overnight definitely for the NY swing. Maybe an overnight or two for the townships. Still need to get my Passport Card...

Places that I am looking forward to returning to would include all of my usual spots of which Smuggs is now a part.

Killington, Sundown. But much less at Sundown this year. That was just a chore.

Probably Holliday Valley once or twice, assuming the union doesn't strike, thus leaving me chained to a machine between Christmas and New Years. Probably a bad assumption. I just better not miss a frakking powder day.
Possibly Jackson.

Targets for consideration: MRV (either one, or both,) Magic, Smuggs.

Probably no great revelation and I know I've talked about it before, but if you're up in the Townships you're close enough to Quebec City...great place in the winter...or summer, for that matter. Like going to Europe without the airfare. We've driven by those mtns (Orford etc) a few times and I always wondered how they were.

I have skied all of Northern NH, but I have yet to get to Tenney. I have lived 15 minutes away and never gone. If they dont close shop I will ski there as soon as conditions permit.

Had a blast in Quebec City 1st weekend of May. Look forward to going back and using it as a base someday for Le Massif and Mt St. Anne.

My plan for the Townships would be to stay in Magog. Ski Orford on a Saturday, Owl's Head on Sunday
