Yes that too! Probably many lunch time runs since they are five minutes from work.

If I remain at my new job(tbd) I will have mondays and possibly Tuesday until 3:30 free as I work evenings. My goal is to ski every mountain within two hours of Milton, NH. Some I have skied some I have not.

That might be one of the most surprising / strangest things I've seen posted on this website.

I made progress knocking off some of my "never been to" areas last year, so this year the list is shorter:
1) Mont Sutton
2) Middlebury Ski Bowl
Odds of my actually hitting either of them? Eh.......I'll go with 25% and 10% respectively.

If I do the summit this year, I'd like to be able to get in a day at Saddleback. It would depend on whether my wife could get a personal day.
After hiking around Bretton Woods last summer, I'm curious to give it a try for the glades. It's the kind of place I'd be more inclined to try if I could get some sort of deal...
I'd also like to try Whiteface and Gore. I wanted to try last year, but the conditions were much better closer to home.

Why? Ideally I'd like to ski MRG on a weekday, but most of the times am only in the valley weekends. Only been 4 years that I've had the condo so far.

You've had a ski condo right next to one of the best ski areas in the east, and you havent been there.
That's surprising/strange.

There were times last year when the conditions were better than NH. In general, Whiteface and Gore are all about timing it right, and can both be miserable if you go at the wrong time. But time it right with a last minute 3 day weekend, and you wont be disappointed. Gore has some of the best tree skiing in the east, and Whiteface has the longest runs in the east (IF the summit is open) and Lake Placid nearby.

Stratton and Tremblant for me, with a long overdue return to Pico as well (know which add on pass I got with my New England one?)

I guess by "closer", I was mostly referring to vt. It's hard to rationalize passing past such good snow in vt to ski in NY... It's probably akin to you drving through vt to ski in NH! That said, I'd still like to ski gore and WF. Especially when I have the fox 44 card.

Lol... my season will probably be much like my last. 25-35 days teaching at The Ridge. 6-8 days at Mohawk. 5 at Mount Snow. 3 at Stowe. Throw in 1-2 days at Killington, Okemo, Stratton, Jiminy Peak, Butternut, and Catamount.
Last year I got in 48 days. I'm confident I can hit 50 this year, shooting for 60. Hopefully, one day, I can look back at this post and laugh at the years where I had less than a triple digit number of ski days.

Yes, I suppose you're right about that.
But I definitely think it would be worth it just for Gore's trees (do many places in NH have trees as good as Gore?) and the fact I think you'll be surprised how much vert Whiteface has compared to anyplace in the east. Actually, Gore has more vert than anyplace in NH too (though they're basically equals).

No Sundown?!?!?!!

Yes, but the vert is a little overdone. As an advanced skier, I rarely go all the way down to the base during my day.

One day. I can get to Catamount in the same time it would take to get to Sundown. Catamount>Sundown
But is there double black diamond, fall and perish terrain at Catamount? I think they are equal distance from me. I might have to check it out, but I recently switched my allegiance to Blue Mountain in the Poconos!
