Three Places you intend to visit this year that you haven't yet!

My son was at Keystone yesterday and the night before. Today he was at A basin.

A friend of mine and long time CO skier posted this info on Thanksgiving Day about the exceptional early conditions at Keystone:

"Skied again today. Keystone opened at 8:30 for the first time this season. The place has been packed all week. Now I know why.

Rode up with a patroller who told me that Keystone has had more snow this year than any other Vail owned resort: 80 inches. Things like that just do not happen at Keystone - the regular “low snow” winner of Vail owned hills.

North Peak opens Friday with a nice mix of groomed black and blue terrain and fresh ungroomed blacks. It appears that the entire hill will be open. Keystone is even trying to get Mozart open on the backside of Dercum Mountain so people don’t have to take the Outpost Gondola to North Peak. Best news: Diamondback may open this weekend and there is a chance that MineShaft will too.. Both are black. One is groomed and one isn’t. I’ve never heard of Mineshaft opening in November.

Considering how bad things looked less than three weeks ago, things sure are looking very good now,"

This thread resurfaces each year, and each year I post in it and fail miserably. Like Charlie Brown attempting to kick the football. With that in mind, these are the three I would LIKE (no promises) to hit this season.

1) Middlebury Snowbowl
2) Mont Sutton
3) Mad River Glen

Of those, Mont Sutton is the most likely chance for success given it's close to where I stay in Vermont. MRG is the least likely for me to achieve, because most of the people I ski with are snowboarders.

Looking back at 2014, I achieved one of the three. Depending on perception, either a terrible completion percentage or a great batting average.

This year, I know someone who moved to New Hampshire, so if I don't get to a NH ski area or two this year it may never happen.

1) Mont Sutton
2) Cannon
3) Loon

1.) Sugarloaf: Part of my M.A.X pass. Looks pretty awesome, the only downside is the place looks a little outdated. But the skiing is going to be great.

2.) Mad River Glen: Making two weekend trips to Sugarbush this year, hopefully I can get the family next door for one of those days.

3.) Shawnee Peak: Is this place any good? Seems to be a nice medium sized mountain...

1. King Pine: they are on my valley pass so I'll hit them up some night

2. Mt Snow: don't expect to like the terrain or crowds, but the ticket is free with my Granite Pass.

3. Stowe: don't know why fate conspires to keep me away

Can't believe I haven't been to the bottom two yet, but the lodging is all set so it is on.

I've been skiing sugarbush my whole life (bout 30 years) and I've never been to smuggs. I keep meaning to go when I'm up there but somehow I never make it

Went to pico for the first time last year and it was fantastic. I would much prefer to go there than killington

Taos, MRG, and the woods! Built my touring setup this offseason, so it's time to go explore.
