Smuggs, Stowe, and Jay Peak will all be better. Go north if "better" is your primary concern.

The "Sugarbush Thread"
Sugarbush is basically the limit as to how far I can justify for a day trip. Jay would basically be 5 hours each way. Smuggs is 4 and a half. Stowe is probably about the same distance but 25 bucks more for a lift ticket, will it actually be any better being that close?

Advance ticket purchase for Sugarbush is $82, Stowe $89. You will need to purchase a $5 RFID card for Stowe if you don't already have one.

I do not have one, haven't been there in years. Liftopia has sugarbush for 81, only have 2 day Stowe tickets for 178. My question is will there really be any difference between sugarbush and Stowe

Depending on weather that comes through your best bet might be the upper half of Mt Ellen for the best conditions.

You guys need better weather skills.....
It's snowing above 2,000' right now in North Central Vt. Snow levels will drop this evening to 1,500 with 2-4"', more at the summits. Could be some lingering snow showers tomorrow - who knows how much at elevation.
I'll bet Heavens Gate, castle Rock, North Linx and Summit never got rain, and pick up 4"+.
Wish I could go......

6inches till you get about 500 feet down from the top then like 2 inches. The upper mountain is good.

I spent half my day on heavens gate.
Worked Heaven's Gate for the past two days and got it again tomorrow. Rode Paradise twice today, my first time on that trail in 2 years. Conditions on it couldn't have been better. Excellent coverage, nice snow. That 6" was pretty dry up top but got more moist the lower you got. Temps were surprisingly mild today, but gonna be about 10 degrees colder tomorrow.
