I have a free pass to each of these and was wondering if anyone had any preferences for these places. It looks like Stratton will probably hold onto the snow and cold as well as anyone, and has the most open trails, but after this upcoming weekend warmup, who knows.
I was thinking on the way into work how we were all saying "it couldn't be any worse than last winter". I hate to say it, but so far, it's been monumentally worse. Skiing during the holiday break at Loon with less than 50% of the trails open was depressing. Still skiing, and glad to do it, but still...
Anyway, enough ranting, I hope to get a good day in on Tues and was wondering if you had the choice which one would you go to?
Thanks.

If it was me, I would go to Stratton just to see what the big fuss was all about. I haven't been there just because of the expensive ticket. Might be worth a trip if I had a pass.

Okemo and Sunapee has large capacity for snowmaking and will spend the money to use it. Matter of fact both are on short list for this weekend.

I'm not sure as my weekday pass is good at all three and will be heading to one of those next friday (12th). Heard Stratton had really good conditions yesterday, but Okemo is reporting more open trail #s (qusetion trail counting method though)...

Skied Okemo yesterday and Sunapee today, and though Okemo had more open, the conditions were better at Sunapee. Who knows how it'll be by the 9th, though.

Okemo it is, they have, by far, the most trails open today, and with the falling temps overnight, I expect that number to increase as well. Thanks again for all the input.
