Where are you going first?

Last year I hit Whiteface first for a change. I normaly hit Hunter but wanted a bigger run. Thinking of doing the same this year. So where are you going?

Whatever place in VT or NY opens first....Maine is too far..

 

[millerm277]

It will be Hunter...the extra 2 1/2 to 5 hours to the NE resorts isn't worth it to get one more run than Hunter has open to ski at that point in the season.

Belleayre or Hunter whoever opens first. I hope it is hunter because HBK is way better than onteroria for opening day.

Mount Sneaux, when they open before anyone this far south : )

 

[kingslug]

I know Whiteface is a haul but the run they open is huge compared to Hellgate. And it's a really nice area to spend a day or two.

Probably Kton early to mid December for a weekend.

 

[Zand]

Mt. Snow if they're open on Vets Weekend. If not I'll wait till Thanksgiving which wil be Wachusett (if they're open) or another attempt at Snow.

 

[RISkier]

Probably a day trip to Wachusett. We're willing to drive there for the white ribbon of death but would probably not drive 3+ hours for one or two trails. Good weather and snow that allowed places to get some significant terrain open could change that. I'm hoping for an early season weekend trip.

Either whatever place opens first or any place that gets snow and is worth hiking.

Definately want to hit Whiteface this year, let me know when you go.

 

[ALLSKIING]

First midweek day K is open....I won't risk the first weekend.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I like to hit at least 3 opening days each season and a few closing days as well..it's just one of the pleasures of the sport..If I could bottle the feeling I get driving up to Belleayre or Okemo or Killington or wherever for my first day of the season..I'd be a billionaire..

 

[ERJ-145CA]

Probably Belleayre, unless something closer opens first, which is unlikely.

 

[awf170]

Most likely Mt. Washington sometime in Oct. for an awesome auto road sufferfest. Maybe a slighter less painful Cog sufferfest if there is enough snow on that side. You know you want to join in...

 

[wa-loaf]

Wachusett, they usually open by T-day if the weather cooperates. Maybe something else earlier if the stars align.

 

[andyzee]

You know you want to join in...

For sure!

 

[Terry]

Either Sugarloaf or Sunday River- Whichever opens first.

 

[danny p]

Big K!

I'll probably use my Maine pass and hit SR first. I can't wait that long though. I want to ski now!!! Where's the snow? Did anyone start the Columbus day storm thread yet?
