How did the snow hold up? How crowded is crowded? I have purchased a ticket. Since I am local, I figured it's worth it even if I just use the return voucher.

They had most of the main trails open off the Center of the mountain, even a couple glades.
The line got to 20 minutes on the one chair open. They ended up opening Rosebrook quad, which helped

Wow, that's definitely more crowded than I was expecting. Thanks for the heads up.

Was coverage on the main trails sufficient?

I saw in another thread that Bretton Woods is charging $25 for Lift Tickets this Saturday 3/28. Is that true? Is there any special offer/pass required or is this available to all?

Thanks guys!

Right where I want to be

It did say you need to be wearing beach attire but it is kind of conflicting stories...

conwayeast & Smellytele - Thank you both very much for the info.

I've never been to Bretton Woods. $25 is awfully enticing. Was planning to go to Mount Snow Sunday for the $36 CSC Appreciation Day, but now I might have to try and do both!!

This was discussed in the Voucher & BOGO thread in regards to Stowe, but does anyone (or any websites) have a list of MOUNTAINS offerings of Ski Council Appreciation days?

I wish I had known about Stowe having one March 20-22! Stowe is doing another Ski Council Appreciation day(s) on April 10-12, which is 2 weeks away.

Is there a website with a list of all mountains' Ski Council Appreciation days? If not, does anyone have all of this information collected somewhere like a spreadsheet?

Have you been to Stowe on one of these days? Is it usually a lot more busy than usual?

Was there this past weekend and it was dead. I usually go in March and most often coincides right around St. Pattys Day. I bet no one will be there in April.
