Seven Days Left to Ski

[KingM]

So here's the premise. You're moving out West or to the Alps and you've got seven days to ski whatever mountains you'd like in the Northeast. After that, you know it will be a long time until you make it back, if ever.

Keeping in mind driving times between mountains, etc., how would you plan your last week of skiing? You can start day one already on the mountain of wherever you choose to start.

1 day at Blue mountain..1 day at Sugarbush..1 day at Mad River Glen..4 days at Stowe..and the 2 ski seasons I lived in Montana, I missed the east...not for the skiing..

Hold the mayo KingM! Aren't you supposed to be checking in guests? Are you contemplating moving or something???

 

[Smellytele]

Tuckerman's-Wildcat-Cannon-Jay-Stowe-Mad River Glen-Sugarbush While I am dreaming here of course all in their best conditions where it snows 10 inches every night after I get to my destination.

 

[Scruffy]

The Bush, MRG, Stowe, Smuggs, Jay, the loaf, then tucks if it's in, else Wildcat to fiinish it off with views of tucks.

Assuming this is while Mount Washington is prone to avalanches instead of spring conditions....

Also assuming I am making a week of it and actually using hotels which I never do as all of these areas except Saddleback are within a two hour drive....

Saddleback > Wildcat > Cannon > Burke > Jay > Stowe > Mad River

If those seven days are in mid to late February:

Sugarloaf
Sunday River
Cannon
Burke
Jay
Stowe
Mad River Glen

What he said. Plus one day at the Bush.

 

[campgottagopee]

Mon, tues, wed at WF then thur, fri, sat, sun at Greek with my pals for one kickin party.

 

[pepperdawg]

Assuming Decent Mid-winter conditions..........Not in any order...1 day at each:

...Killington.....Magic....Stowe....S'Bush....Smuggs....Bolton...Smuggs again

Any Powder days that happened during that 7 days would be at Magic or Smuggs...

LOL. No, it's just a what-if thread, although too many more nights like last night might just change my mind. We had a group of about forty people (teenagers and their adult chaperons) arrive via bus after hours and they would not settle down and go to sleep. We had one cranky guest this morning who said they kept walking back and forth from room to room all night long.

I hope that a day of skiing on top of last night's fun will be enough to wipe them out tonight.

I love to ski, but if I were really moving to the Alps (or certain parts of the West), I'd do things other than skiing with my seven remaining days.

 

[kcyanks1]

Sugarloaf, Jay, Smuggs, Stowe x2, Mad River x2.

I love Sugarbush but have been there enough times compared to others (Sugarloaf and Smuggs I've never been too). This would also rely on having informed tour guides for Stowe and MRG If I don't have those guides, I'd probably take extra time at Sugarloaf and Smuggs, given that I've never skied them. Or maybe add a day at Saddleback.

 

[Philpug]

Start off in Alaska...
Alyaska, I want to get up there again
Hatchers pass, great cat skiing, views like no other ski areas

A quick flight to Utahhhh

Snowbaisin, understated
Snowbird, need to hit Mineral basin

Off to Colorado...

Steamboat, Utah snow in Colorado, great trees
A-Basin...gotta hit the cornice again

Come home east...
MRG, need I say more



On the eighth day..I ski Blue.
