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
Yah, if you're heading to QC, Le Massif would be a must-do for a serious skier. We did enjoy MSA. Only problem was I REALLY talked up the mid-slope sugar shack to the girls...and it was closed! Like a Clarke Griswald winter vacation...

The usual New England stuff, pass at Wachusett. Saddleback, Sugarloaf, maybe Sunday River. Some storm chasing to NH and Magic. Trip out west that is looking like either Vail or Tahoe right now.

My list is short: Loon and SR with a possible visit to K and perhaps hit up Cannon.

If all goes well, Vail in March or early April.

I usually only take day trips so its both easy and hard to hit different places

Too often I hit the 93/89 interchange and instead of heading into deepest VT like I planned to the night before, I just bag it and go to Loon/BW because I can be there right when the lifts open and have a shorter drive home. If I do go to Vermont its often just to Okemo, again cause its less drive time. I'm resolving to sack up and make it to SB/Stowe/BV more often this year.

I'd really like to try Burke, having never been. Also never did Magic so I'd like to see what all the fuss is about there.

I plan to hit Okemo and Suicide Six (smow permitting) and maybe Burke and Ascutney if there is enough mid season snow. I'd like to try out the new lift at Hunter, but haven't been there in years.

Medford, just north of boston

Going up I like to get an early start. loon is like 90 mins and BW is another 30 as long as you go 80 and dont stop. its the ride home that's a drain.

I hear ya on the ride home part. I'm from CT, most bigger ski areas are 2.5+ hours from me. I've gone as much as a little more than 4 hours away as a day trip to MRG. 4+ hours home in the dark after skiing hard at MRG all day is a little much... But worth it!

So far in this thread I’ve seen 9 potential new Magic skiers.

TheSneak
4aprice
Rushski
Smellytele
Mondeo
SkiNEwhere
Playoutside

I have purchased a bunch of discounted tickets for 1st timers. If you guys make it happen there’s one with your name on it along with a free tour. I don’t work for the mountain but they are fully aware of this & it is completely legit. Just an idea for a little grass roots marketing, simple as that. 1st timers only, honor system applies.

I’ll probably make this its own thread as the season gets closer as long as the mods are cool with that.

If I missed anyone or if any other 1st timers have an interest, just let me know or look for a new thread when the season starts. Just a heads up & thanks for the interest.

10. wa-loaf! I plan on sucking you guys in with a cheap ticket so you'll be back paying full price again & again. :stirpot: Even though full price is still cheaper than anywhere else!
