Looks like I'll be able to grab a day tomorrow and I'm trying to decide between MRG and Stowe. Day trip and both are pretty much equally as far a drive for me, 3 hrs. I'm not a woods skier yet (low advanced is how I'd rate myself) and realize all on-piste trails will have been long tracked out but I can more than content myself skiing leftover deepish on trail edges with the occasional stash here and there.
Pro Stowe: I've never been, and tomorrow is the last day for $54 lift tickets -- I called yesterday and they're bumping up prime season by a week because of conditions. I gather they'll have about 2/3 of their terrain open/lift-accessible tomorrow, so it would be a good chance for me to check out this renowned mountain for $25-30 less than normal.
Con Stowe: I'm not looking for groomers. Don't know what crowds might be like. Less likely to find any stashes at all as they've been open all week. Unfamiliarity might mean I don't 100% maximize my time on the slopes.
Pro MRG: Numerous obvious reasons and I'm familiar with the place. I love bumps but am mighty curious to see MRG with them formed barely if at all.
Con MRG: None I can think of. Webcam indicates minor line for the single right now and I suspect the "crowd" might be a little larger than usual for a weekday today because it's opening day, first spin for the new single, and fresh conditions.
Great dilemma to have ... Thoughts anyone?
