Need VT skiing advice

[CoolMike]

I agree with Bolton Valley and Smuggs.

Bolton Valley is a personal favorite of mine. The trails are beautiful.

Pretty sure I stayed in that hotel at the base back in like 1997 when we went up for a school ski trip

Can confirm that nothing has changed since then with the property. Stayed there 2 wknds ago with Catsup948 for 1 of the nights on our trip.
Its outdated for sure but is clean, is slope-side, includes a continental breakfast and access to the sports center (also outdated but not a big deal)
Hard to beat the price.

I remember the rooms being pretty non descript but a decent indoor pool

Burke+Cannon would be another combo to avoid long drives between the 2. Stay at Comfort Inn in St J in between.

+1
And a very easy drive from Somerville.

There is also a Hampton Inn in Littleton and a Best Western in Franconia.

Really wish they had a Marriott property in the Littleton, St. j area. Closest is WRJ.

Who knows 5 years from now maybe Marriot will buy the QBurke Hotel-Lodge.

Heck if Omni can buy the Mount Washington Hotel and Bretton Woods, you never know.

mccleaks got a lot of good advice on this thread.

IMO any of the following suggested earlier should do the trick:
- Smuggs and Bolton Valley
- Burke and Cannon
- Ragged and Cannon

- Ragged and Cannon

I'm not sure that suggesting 2 NH mountains qualifies as "VT skiing advice". Especially when one of those (Ragged) isn't on the pass he's trying to use.

Perhaps he holds long grudges and believes the Province of New Hampshire rightfully owns the Vermont land grants.

He did say he had a Ragged comp to use and all I did was rubber stamp 3 earlier suggestions and totally forgot the VT req.

Who doesn't? Being from MA I'm still unsettled about NH and ME splitting off.

Not sure NH was ever part of MA as ME was.

Bolton Valley and MRG

That's even worse! But actually south-coastal NH was.

I was wrong...

[FONT=arial, helvetica][SIZE=-1]New Hampshire continued a part of Massachusetts until 1679, when the king separated them. He joined them again in 1686; but they were finally separated in 1691, and New Hampshire again became a royal province, the president and council being appointed by the Crown and the assembly elected by the people. Until 1741, however, the governor was but a lieutenant under the supervision of the governor of Massachusetts. [/SIZE][/FONT]
