Where do you plan on going this year - 2010/2011

[wa-loaf]

10. wa-loaf! I plan on sucking you guys in with a cheap ticket so you'll be back paying full price again & again. Even though full price is still cheaper than anywhere else!

Nice, thanks for doing this. I'll see you on a powder day ...

I have purchased a bunch of discounted tickets for 1st timers. If you guys make it happen there’s one with your name on it along with a free tour. I don’t work for the mountain but they are fully aware of this & it is completely legit. Just an idea for a little grass roots marketing, simple as that. 1st timers only, honor system applies.

I’ll probably make this its own thread as the season gets closer as long as the mods are cool with that.

If I missed anyone or if any other 1st timers have an interest, just let me know or look for a new thread when the season starts. Just a heads up & thanks for the interest.

Thanks for the offer...will have to think about this one.

No problem i'm happy to do it & just trying to lure some new skiers in. Can't stress enough these are for 1st timers ONLY. If they go to anyone else I will feel like i'm costing the mountain money.

Anyone who's been there before knows how awesome it is & should be happy to pay full price.

Again, I DO NOT work for the mountain whatsoever but I am friends of management. Sometimes it comes across like I do.

Magic's not new to me Rusty. I met you in the bar last year getting a Savemagicmt t-shirt. Also skied it in the 70's. But I like the place alot and hope to/will return this season if everything falls into place.

A nice offer sir. I'll be there for sure.

Never been to Magic and may be interested. I would bring my brother or son too. They have never been,

I'll be wintering at KMart again so that's my every day plan of record

I agreed to meet up with some friends in Whistler. No date yet. Not sure where I'm staying but I have an open invite at a couple of places and my sister will lend me her Subaru for a week.

I'm always in Vancouver for Christmas. This year, I'm driving from KMart to Montreal and flying from there. If the snow is good, bringing ski gear on Air Canada is no problem. I might try the local areas instead of Whstler and Mount Baker.

I think I'll try to get back to Monarch this winter when I'm working in Denver. I really liked it there.

I usually only take day trips so its both easy and hard to hit different places

Too often I hit the 93/89 interchange and instead of heading into deepest VT like I planned to the night before, I just bag it and go to Loon/BW because I can be there right when the lifts open and have a shorter drive home. If I do go to Vermont its often just to Okemo, again cause its less drive time. I'm resolving to sack up and make it to SB/Stowe/BV more often this year.

I'd really like to try Burke, having never been. Also never did Magic so I'd like to see what all the fuss is about there.

Definitely hit Burke! If you are going up 93, I assume you are coming from either SoNH, Boston or its suburbs, or RI. Burke is actually the closest major VT resort over 2k vert from the 93/89 interchange. Only an hour (maybe a shade under?) past the Loon exit. Worth bypassing Loon and BW.

Blue is home mountain, plus CB for a day or two. Would also like to go back to Shawnee.

3-pac pass at hunter is planned (if they offer again)

Spending four days at WF for our annual family trip. Never done new years there so looking forward to that experience.

MLK weekend thinking Magic. Never been, but if the vibe is anything like Burke then it should be a good experience.

Boys have off all of Prez week so will spend the official holiday time at Burke, then head up to Jay on Wednesday and finish the week up there.

Early April will be where ever snow is still good.

 

[thetrailboss]

Got my pass to Sugarbush lined up in May. Going to be there for certain. I also have tickets to my old town hill...the Lyndon Outing Club. Need to get back there. The last time I skied there was in 2003.

I am hoping to get to Burke, Sugarloaf, and Sunday River. Need to ski with Bob R and Snowmonster again.

My bad 4aprice, hard to remember real names let alone screen names. apologies.

We may be able to ski Magic depending on the timing of our trip to New Hampshire. We may stop either on the way up or on the way home.

 

[RustyGroomer]

Well just let me know guys. Would be happy to introduce Magic to a bunch of new skiers.

Thanks for the reminder, I've got to get to Burke. They don't seem to have as many discounted tickets as other places, though.

Rustygroomer-

Thank you. I would like to take you up on this offer. Some folks I ski with went to Magic for the 1st time last year and loved it. I was not on this trip, but really like places like Berkshire East, and magic seems like a major league version of BEast.

Looking forward to checking it out.

If you like BEast you should love Magic. I always think of Magic as a bigger better version of BEast. Definitely get yourself up there.

Add me! I've never been.

That is very generous! I've never been either but I'm not sure I'll make it up there this year.

There is no definite place I'll be this year. I only got 10 days in last season and 7 of them were at Sundown--which means I lost money on the season's pass last year. So, with that in mind, I'm trying to decide how to approach this season. I will (hopefully!) be starting grad school in January so I don't anticipate a lot of free time. Right now, I'm looking at Sundown's once a week pass for $199 and Mohawk's various well-priced options ($20 half-day pass on Mon-Thur, $24 night pass Fri/Sat, or $219 night pass). I'm tempted to skip the pass altogether with Mohawk's very affordable night skiing options...

So I guess my list is:

Sundown
Mohawk
Sugarloaf (if the next AZ Summit is there)

Sad, short list.

Medford, just north of boston

Going up I like to get an early start. loon is like 90 mins and BW is another 30 as long as you go 80 and dont stop. its the ride home that's a drain.

Fwiw...I usually found that when returning from either NH or Maine to the Boston area...doing it at a later time, if possible ...avoided most of the heavy traffic that had plans....
