This season was probably the first in 10 or more years that I didn't ski at Jiminy Peak. You?

Didn't ski Okemo, usually hit it once or twice.

Only skied Sundown once, in December.

Did get to a few new places along with getting back to a few.

Didn't get to Sugarloaf this year. Wanted to head up for some spring skiing, but the old knee put an early end to the season.

Only my second year skiing... Only started late last season, and re-hit all three places I went last year (WaWa, Loon, Sunday River).

Added one night at Crotched, adding one day at Stratton (this Saturday) and a likely trip to Sugarloaf to close the season.

I did not ski Killington for the first time in many years as a personal protest for a shortened ski season, I'll take my money to Sugarloaf.

holy crap there is a trend here.

Interestingly enough, my two visits to Killington this season were more than the past several years.... :lol:

Hey the season 'aint over yet. How do you know you won't make it up there again before the season ends? While I have no specific plans to hit K again, I would like to ski there in April during the height of Spring conditions.

As to the original question, this year I have hit all the usual suspects where I usually go. Sugarbush, MRG, Stowe, Killington, Burke, Magic, BEast, etc. So I guess I don't have anything to add here. :wink:

Without the All East pass this season, my usual haunts of Attitash, Sunday River, and Killington have gone without a visit (ironically I did make my first trip to Sugarloaf this season though).

As great a deal as that thing was - and I do miss it- it has forced me to branch out this season. I bought a mini-pass at Wildcat where I hadn't skied in five years thanks to the East pass. I visited Magic for the first time, saw value in a free ticket to Stratton. Later this month, I'll be making my first treks to Sugarbush and Stowe since a five years after college (2001...sad, way too long)....and I've done so all for about what I would have paid for the pass in the first place.

I'll look into a pass next season, but if I can round up similar deals to this season, I may forgo it too.

Pretty unusual that I hit neither Wildcat nor Cannon this year (at least not yet). OTOH I made my first-ever trips to Stowe, SB (Mt Ellen) and Magic. It's been a great season, even though work commitments kept me off the slopes altogether for eight weeks in Jan-Feb.

I don't really have any usuals, except for Sundown, but I did really want to hit BEast again this year..

you are correct sir. I really wanted to get up there while the course was setup on o.l. but there is still 3 weeks or so left on their season.
