What's your home mountain

[Npage148]

Man, ill have to say kissing bridge and holiday valley while im stuck out here in buffalo for school

 

[Greg]

I hiked around there last month and notice that they have extended Outback in order to eliminate the grading problem at the end. It looks that even boards should be able to ride it without any trouble. Looking forward to to a good winter there. :beer:

Nice! I thought it was cool how Sally J admitted it was poorly done initially. See question 1:

This year it will be an equal split between Stowe and Smuggs. Traditionally though, its been Stowe.

Depends on the year for me...
This year will be Smuggs
Last year I had about 30 days each at Stowe and Smuggs
Sugarbush for the 2 seasons before that
Smuggs the year before that

Whiteface

 

[Terry]

Shawnee Peak for me. It is only 15 mins away.

 

[riverc0il]

well, if you're tossing people down for multiple homes, put me on for cannon to. as i said, it will always be home no matter where my 'home' mountain is

 

[thetrailboss]

Burke or Sunapee this year.

 

[K2Trav]

Sugarloaf

I plan to try to ski every day its open this year, hopefully 150+ days

I feel most at home when I'm skiing Jay Peak. I just cant get enough of the place. However due to soaring gas prices Cannon will see most of my time this season. I'm definately not complaining mind you. Cannon/Mittersill is still one of the best damn hills around.

Actually Sunday River and Attitash also for ASC resorts. :beer:

 

[tirolerpeter]

Home Mountain?

If by "home" you mean most skied, I guess the ASC Bronze Pass has me dividing my time between Snow and Killington for two and three day trips. Between times I hit Jiminy, Hunter, and Bellayre depending on "discount" opportunities. The Jiminy "Value Card" and the Hunter "Big Lift" card are great discounts and both mountains are relatively easy day-trips for me when I can't talk someone into sharing a trip up to VT for a couple of days. This retirement business is tough! You don't know how hard it is to get working people to chuck it for a day or two.

Re: Home Mountain

Sugarbush without a doubt. Skied there 25 times last year and hope to get in over 35 times this year. :beer:

Also a vote for MRG since its so close to SB and I have a condo in the MRV. That ought to count for at least a half a vote for MRG (if not a whole vote) since I see we've been tallying multiple votes per skier.

Counting SB and MRG as a vote for each is entirely appropriate given their proximity to each other.

As a noob in the 80's: Vernon Valley (Mountain Creek)

Getting better before I took lessons: Camelback

After my Forst Trip to Vermont: Blue Mountain

After a lot of Vert under my Wing and lessons, before Kids: Hunta

Countless vert with Kids: Belleayre (Midweek is still Hunta)

Still though you want Local....2 - 2 1/2 hours isn't really local...Since I haven't been back to Blue, I can't really use that...

I gotta say Jack Frost...but it's a tiny Mountain....

Still I ski the 'skills as much as I do there...and I've stayed a week at Smugglers the last 5 years in a row...I love smuggs....

Ah forget it, either just pick one, or make up a new category...."Nomad"
