Butternut just up the road is another great place for never-evers. Also cost effective.So catamount is like JUST big enough and JUST close enough to home to justify this visit (for “free” on Indy of course), especially on a day when Vermont is boilerplate. The skiing is cornish groomers in the 30 degree sun. I dig it. There’s a very nice little inn right at the base. And Great Barrington is nearby. I’d come back to bring my nephew and fiance to learn for cheap.
