The wife and I hit the big 40 next year and we are considering renting a place at a bigger MT instead of using our place on Winnepasaukee as a home base for next season so we plan on making some rad trips this year to check places out.
Looking for a destination within a 3 hr drive of Metro West/Boston and a place VERY close to whatever MT we decide on.
As of now the contenders are : Conway/Bartlet Area (Wildcat/Attitash pass interests me), Okemo (she has a friend who goes there and raves about it), and Loon or Waterville Valley (Familiarity). We love Sugarbush and while it probably the best skiing of the bunch it has only an outside chance, that drive would be pushing it.
We are looking for a family friendly resort/area, that we can enjoy with our 9 year old girls who have been skiing for 6 years at this point. While skiing is why we do this family time is just as important so we want a place where we can enjoy ourselves as a family, Apres', eating out, activities (hiking/skating) on non-ski days.
Anyone have any feedback about making one of the locations above a home mountian for a year, or maybe longer? Tips on ammenities (lockers at MT, on MT Services, etc..)? Early buy pass rates?
Any tips on seasonal rentals in general? Any realitor suggestions for the areas above?
Thanks in Advance.
