Now that Im coming back to the East coast its time to start thinking about where Im going to ride next year.
Right now, Cannon is at the top of my list as I just plain love the place. Learned how to ride there, the tram wouldnt make me miss Jackson to badly, and the overall vibe is just plain cool. Sure there are better mountains out there in terms of snowfall, but the place has got the steeps and its got the vibe Im looking for.
If I end up in Maine, it would almost definately be the Boyne pass to Sunday River/Loaf, but Sunday River just doesnt have the terrain Im looking for, and the loaf is always a tough day trip from anywhere. They do have some nice terrain though. And you cant really beat the length of season you get with the Boyne pass. Late October to early May in a crappy snow year is two months more lift served than I get in Jackson. Thats nice. Im really open to anything, perhaps a Wildcat pass? VT hills are pretty much to far out for me realistically, and outside of Stowe and Jay I dont really care for em. The bush is decent, but not as great as people make it out to be, and Mt. Snow is just not my cup of tea.
So what say you, where are you throwing down coin to ski next year. Realistically Im going to ride 60-70 days next winter, I want something thats going to keep me happy. Ive been gone for three years, whos serving up the goods, and who's falling downhill? Dont mention Kmart, theyre a decent hill and all, but Im not going to give Jackson level money to that junkshow.
