I could ski on max pass or ski vt 5 pack this weekend and am choosing to sit it out. and I never miss a weekend. only missed new years weekend but skied 10 days in a row leading up to it. with my big Canada trip next week and the weather this weekend being problematic, I'm gonna save the mileage and gas money and spend time with people I neglect all winter

I’d also be willing to venture someplace I’m not familiar with as skiing new groomers may be a nice change of pace haha

Going someplace new might be a good plan then. $100 to ski groomers is definitely steep... but I can't really talk to that as I also have a pass.

I'd say go for it and agree with 180 that it is always worth it! K (not sure how often you're there) will be excellent. Coming from CT, Loon is also making snow and Cannon might as well. Loon and K will have crowds (easier to avoid them at K though).

I’m not a huge fan of killington, feels too big and spread out for me. I haven’t been to loon or cannon in years. Not sure how far that would be from here. I’d consider maybe mount snow as I haven’t been there in forever if they’re making a solid recovery

So we closed on our little slice of heaven on tuesday..raining, had a crappy day monday. The broker is like.."are you excited?"..Well..if it was a great weekend I would be a little more stoked. Now we drive 5 hours back in the rain . So I'll be excited when winter returns. And IT WILL DAMN IT!!!...so there.
Did you buy a house up in ski country?

Looks like it would take just as long to get to Cannon as it would to sugarbush so probably not going to do that.

Mount snow is definitely a solid option for you depending on which groomers they resurface. Not sure what you like to ski, but if they only make snow on their frontside blues then I would avoid it personally, but that is just my opinion.

Sugarbush is probably > Cannon for you, I agree haha

If I get the itch too much I’ll just drive up to sugarbush and just hate myself on the drive back

This. Every time I try to take a weekend off, I hate myself starting sometime between Sunday evening and Wednesday.
I almost went back to bed Monday AM after showering because I was tired and would be riding alone. I was glad I stuck to my plan, had a fun day.
