How is this place? Bigger then Ski Sundown and smaller then Jiminy? Its nice and close to LI. Thinking of making this a good day to demo.

I'm going. I went last year and the setup was pretty smooth. You could pop in and out of different manufacturer's skis within 5 minutes or so.

Butternut is okay. It's a little flat. To compare it to Sundown, Gunbarrel, for example has a longer steeper susptained pitch. Butternut has more vertical though. It's a learning mountain, but I used to ski there a lot as it's the closest 1,000' vertical mountain for me. Catamount is almost the same distance and I prefer that if the snow is good. Butternut has much better grooming and snowmaking though and has a better early season. Although the vertical is only a bit more, Jiminy is in a different league all together in terms of expert terrain.

It is (less vertical). It skis smaller too.

I thought the two were comparable. Sounds more like Sundown then Jiminy. No big deal..a day on skies is a good day at any mountain.

Butternut is much flatter overall. Still a 1K' vert which is respectable and they have excellent snowmaking and grooming. A beginner or cruiser's mountain.
