Bolton & Burke - when to schedule?

[billski]

I know this question seems a bit silly, but please humor me.

I have 2 ski days with the family, Friday and Saturday.
I have sets of tix for one day at Burke one day at Bolton.

In terms of "crowds" am I better off doing Bolton on Friday and Burke on Saturday? I know Bolton gets busy on the weekends with the Burlington crowd....

Whatcha' think?

Yes, Friday for Bolton and Burke on Saturday is a good option. I'd just wait for more snow right now so you can have full reign of the terrain at Burke :roll:

Thanks. I have no choice. It's carved in stone (er, snow) for 3/3&4.

Well, you have a loooooonnnnngggg time between now and then and a lot of weather. March, historically, is a good month at Burke.

We were thinking of doing a day at Burke over February vacation. I noticed that some of the other mountains have turned their guns back on now that it's cold. Is Burke going to make snow again this season, or have they released their snowmakers for the season?

Doc--

Word has it that they still have their crew and will be making snow asap.

Great! My daughter was their with friends this past weekend; said nice things about the quad and they had a great meal at Tamarack Grill.
