And a picture

I forgot to post on here earlier in June, but I did actually get around to skiing Squaw Valley June 3rd-4th. It was amazing! I wish I got a chance to get out there during the winter, I can only imagine how much snow was there a few months earlier. Even so, the hikes up to the top of Granite...

Apparently a lot melted in just a few days, from talking to people. Mountain run was dirt all the way up to KT22 and it must have been rideable to the bottom for you still. I was still happy overall though. Some amazing stuff off of Granite Chief as well as Headwall, well worth the hikes there.

32. 6/3 Squaw Valley, CA 33. 6/4 Squaw Valley, CA My Sugarbush pass has again paid for itself. Squaw does an "any other resort pass" for $52 so I used that for two days of amazing spring skiing. The amount of snow there is just crazy. Definitely enjoyed my first time skiing out west! Great way...

A great snack on the trail that I have put together is to make some "peanut butter balls". Basically just toast some rolled oats, take a spoonful of peanutbutter and roll it in the oats, and then freeze them. I have also added chocolate chips, nuts, and/or raisins to the peanutbutter before...

Teleskier is not wrong though, it's definitely a rare thing to find "classic new England skiing". Grooming, snowmaking, and real estate development definitely have a hand in that. But thats where the money is so it only makes sense. You still have places like Mad River Glen and many other small...

I'm sorry you had to endure Mountain Creek that much! It's probably a super close drive for you though so I suppose it makes sense. I just really liked Blue Mountain this season in comparison. Felt like a real mountain at least. But both are the same drive for me.

$639 for Epic Local Pass. That is probably a better comparison in price/offerings. http://www.snow.com/epic-pass/passes/epic-local-pass.aspx I don't quite understand what "10 days combined" means for the restricted mountains. Meaning you can use the 10 days as you please at any of those...

$200 more is only like a 3-4 (if not less) days of skiing at most mountains so its certainly not a crazy difference. It puts it in the same league, especially for what you get. I know I would pick Epic over Max, just because of the mountain choices.

While on the topic of MCP, does anyone know of a good resource to learning about all of the different mountains on the pass? Perhaps another forum that is not NE focused or a blog of some sort from people who have done it? I just really want to get a feel for what sort of trails are available at...

Is that a challenge?? I bought a Mountain Collective Pass and I plan on hitting all of the mountains other than the ones outside US/Canada. Just not really in the cards to make a trip to NZ/Australia nor the "partner resorts" elsewhere. Although the idea of going to Chamonix is very tempting...

Dropped you a pm! I'll definitely make sure to post a couple pictures for sure. Might be a bit slushy but I'll have fun either way.

Oh yeah I'll certainly be there regardless. Funny that my first west coast ski experience will be in June of all times. But with my Mountain collective pass for 2017/18 I'll be getting way more of it soon!

Ahh poo, I am too late to my own thread to claim the tickets! Haha, well if Snoseek doesnt use them, I would gladly take them! I have flights and a place to stay and a car rented already. So I will definitely be there at Squaw no matter what.

Yup, I saw the limitation. Works out perfectly since I am going for two days anyways. They are only open weekends in June so it would be difficult to use more than 2 days anyways.

Well I will be at Squaw which has a $52 "other resort" passholder ticket. So assuming I show my Sugarbush pass, I can get that rate. I am wondering if window rates will end up any lower due to limited hours. Obviously Mammoth and Squaw will differ from each other...

Hmm, thats odd but I guess it makes sense since the snow will basically just be mush later on in the day anyways. Hopefully lift tickets are pretty cheap thats the only part I havent quite figured out yet.

Quite the interesting article. Surpassing 700 inches of snow for the season is insane! I am officially booked for skiing there at Squaw June 3rd-4th. I will be sure to report how much of that snow is still standing. I am sure there will still be more snow there than I saw in Vermont all season...

Wouldn't be a day trip either way. Probably 4 days, 2 of which would be spent skiing, 2 would be driving and doing other stuff. Obviously Mammoth is closer and would probably have more snow. But I consider both just because with this season, I imagine I can't go wrong with either choice.

Killington is also $36 on Liftopia which seems pretty cheap to me
