Hey All,

I hope everybody is having a good Labor Day. Are there any ski areas that you've never visited that you're planning on visiting this season? I want to try out Plattekill and Magic in the east. Out west there are so many different places I want to visit. Primariliy Utah, and Interior British Columbia. Last season was a great season for me in terms of ski days and vert but I didn't hit one new place. So one of my goals this season is to ski a few new places in the East and West..anybody else???

I'd like to hit Wildcat for a day and I definitely want to get to Tux this year. I've been saying it for 4 yrs but one of my friends always bails. Hopefully this is the year...

Sugarbush for the AZ gathering, maybe MRG the same weekend. Tuckermans is definately in the plans next spring also. Other than that, I will play it by ear. What happens, happens.I will be skiing somewhere every weekend from mid Nov till may!

I'd like to try Sugarbush, Cannon, and Wildcat this year. I'd be very surprised if we make it to all 3. We're tentatively planning to go to Utah again and will likely do a Cottonwoods Canyons tour. Snowbird, Brighton, and Solitude would be new areas for us. I suspect we'd really like Solitude so I'm looking forward to that.

Berkshire East and Magic.

Nice picks. When there's abundant natural snow, these two are the best in Mass and Southern Vermont (south of Killington) respectively. They seem similar to me. I skied them a week apart once last winter got started:

Sugarbush, even though I've technically been to Sugarbush north I was skiing with my beginner wife and never made it off the Inverness chair and I've never been to south. I need to get there this year and ski off the Castlerock chair that I've heard so much about here. I'm also hoping to get up to Whiteface this year as well.

Definitely going to:

Magic
Ascutney

Hoping to go to:

Hidden Valley
Whiteface
Gore
Sugarbush
EDIT: forgot Ragged, would like to try there if there's decent snow this year. (I don't have a huge amount of confidence in their snowmaking).

The videos are part of what got me interested. Plus they are relatively close. BE is just over an hour and Magic is in the 2 hr range. Hopefuly I can work it out with an AZ trip.

Here's to snow early and often!

Places with a high probability.
1) Magic
2) Mt. Ellen. I did Lincoln Peak and Castlerock this past winter, I want to go up there for a couple of days and do both.

50/50 chance
1) Loon but only on a weekday
2) MRG. Maybe on my Sugarbush trip.

I'd like to but doubtful.
1) Beast
2) Whiteface
3) Smuggs
