What new ski areas do you want to try this season? (2005-06)

[Greg]

Okay. Here's this season's version of this thread. Here's my list from last year:

• Burke
• Cannon
• Magic
• MRG
• Sugarbush
• Sunapee

Out of those, I got to Magic, MRG and Sugarbush last season. So for this year, I'd like to get to Burke, Cannon and Sunapee. How about you?

 

[Strat]

Well, seeing as I've never been anywhere but sugarbush (I know, hard to believe but true, I am only 15), I'd definitely like to get to Stowe and maybe Jay this year... thing is though my parents aren't too keen on paying for lift tickets, seeing as they've gotten accustomed to me getting a free sugarbush pass through school... and seeing as I haven't found a job yet, paying for it myself would be difficult... still want to try other areas...

Last year was pretty good as far as new places goes:

• Berkshire East
• Cannon
• Loon
• Magic
• Stowe
• Snow

The only ones that were on my list last year that I didn't get to were Jiminy and Butternut. This year I'd like to hit the following:

• Jiminy
• Butternut
• Hunter
• Burke
• Wildcat

 

[Greg]

• Jiminy
• Butternut
• Hunter

I'll go with you and make sure you get to these. It'll have to be early or late season for me though...

Still gonna do free demo day at the 'Nut, right?

 

[ALLSKIING]

• Jiminy
• Butternut
• Hunter

It'll have to be early or late season for me though...

Greg...are you going to be at the loaf in April?

I hope to, but it'll depend on how the negotiations with the "boss" go.

Here was my list from last year with the places I did make it to in blue:

• Gunstock
• Sunapee
• Tenney
• Waterville
• Ragged

Here's a list of "new" places I'd like to try:

• Loon (although I'm not sure if I want to fight the weekend crowds)
• Bretton Woods
• Berkshire East

Got to get to cannon. Hiked it. Bought tickets via discount programs twice. Just never went. The Az outing We will have there is going to make this happen.
My buddies who ski nights at Wachusett said I have to go. I will this year.
I would like to get to Mt Snow cause its covered on my pass. Can't remember last year. Had a great year anyway.

Can't remember last year.

Sounds good! Butternut is just too damn close to have never been... I'm definately up for the demo day!

 

[Vortex]

Bvibert just finds the old threads for me so I don't have to. Please don't this time. :wink: Its all about next year.

 

[Treeliner]

Jay and Sugarbush and the two I'm looking to get next year for the first time.

I'd also like to go back to Magic; I haven't been there in years and I've progressed a lot since I was there last. I think it'd be a thrill to be able to go down some of the runs I had seen and only dreamed about doing years ago.

 

[loafer89]

I got to Black Mountain Of Maine last year. I still did not get to Eaton, Titicomb and Lost Valley.

I would like to Ski Blandford in MA and Bolton in VT if I get the chance.

I did get to ski several new places that were not planned:

Camden Snow Bowl
Bretton Woods
Cranmore
The Cog Railroad-my son loved that one

Sounds good! Butternut is just too damn close to have never been... I'm definately up for the demo day!

When is the free demo day? I'm up for that! I got to Nutterbut last year right after 9 new inches. Really fun day.

No word yet, but it's usually in late December. See the Butternut AZ challenge responses.

for myself, this past season i had big plans for new ski areas. but i don't like going to new places unless conditions are good so i get a good feel for my first impression. on the "new to me" list for the 04-05 season continue to be dartmouth skiway, smuggs, saddleback, middlebury snowbowl, and stowe (if i can find a good deal!).

and those areas continue to be on my to do list! woot! stowe will likely be earn your turns style, i doubt i'll get to saddleback or snowbowl. so to set an actual list of one's that i really really should get to would include:

smuggs
mansfield
dartmouth
