The only two in southern NH that I loved were Stratton and Magic.

Mount Snow is garbage. Okemo and Bromley are OK.

KIllington and Sugarbush are my favorite by far.

Stowe is too bland for me. Not enoguh there to make we wanna go back.
Bolton is by far the most underratted out of all of them.

You loved Stratton (NH?), but Stowe was bland?

Sugarloaf is in Vermont? Why is everyone complaining about the drive to the Summit then?

Stowe's front trails were great but I just didn't find the place to be " amazing". Chin Clip was my favorite

Opening day is set for Nov 22nd.

Think they'll open a week early if conditions permit?

Given the 6-8" yesterday and they will only have to shut down snowmaking for a day and a half this week, yes they could. What is their early season offering? Jester and the upper part of Organgrinder? Got my season pass there this year but have never skied their before mid-December.

They won't open before the 22nd unless there is a significant dump.

You can find stuff like that on either side of the notch. Stowe has more anyone though. There is a reason why the Meathead guys primarily filmed there. Jay and MRG both have stuff along their respective ridges but nothing to that extent.

Once again if any mountain was ideally set up for early season skiing/riding it's Mt. Ellen. Same thing for late season skiing/riding. A natural resource being wasted.

Upper mountain looks prime & they haven't even blown a flake up there yet.

Yep. Completely agree.
