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

[The Sneak]

Sorry if a duplicate thread.

Are there places you really look forward to returning to or maybe have never been?
This year, I hope to hit up the following:

Magic (never been)
Beast
Black Mt NH (only been 1x)
Sugarloaf
Ragged
Burke (only been 1x)
Stowe
Sugarbush (only been 1x)
Saddleback (never been)
Le Massif (never been)
Wildcat (only been 1x)
Wachusett 15x min (pass holder, mostly after work)

As every year a majority of my skiing will be here at home in the Pocono Mountains. Got my pass to Camelback and will definately hit Blue and Elk and maybe Shawnee Mt to check out the new HSQ. I hope to sprinkle in some day trips to Hunter, Belleayre and Plattekill as well.

I also have my eyes on Northern Vermont. I would like to do a 4 day combo trip of Smugglers Notch and Stowe and possibly another weekend at Sugarbush. My daughter is looking at Castleton State College so I may combine a trip there with a Killington/Pico weekend. If the invite comes from Camelback friends who have a place in Londonderry Vt (and I think it will) a Magic/Bromley weekend is a definate possability.

Once again I will wrap up the season in Utah the 1st week of April.

got my pass to smuggs. now contemplating making my return to instructing

[St. Bear]

With the baby, I'm hoping to break double digits this year. Almost all of our ski days will be on holidays, when we have a long weekend to drive up to NH so my parents can babysit.

I am successfully lobbying (so far) for a long weekend at Sugarloaf, which would be our first ever ski vacation (ie, non daytrip).

Most Certain
Wildcat
Sugarloaf
Hunter
Cannon
Sugarbush
Saddleback
MRG
Jay
Least Certain

 

[Rushski]

Will try to get to a few here in the NE that I've never been to - Stowe, Jay, Magic.

I'll be heading to the North Shore of Tahoe to try a few new and a couple return areas in the second wwek of Feb. Return to Mt. Rose and Sugar Bowl. First hits at Northstar, Squaw and Alpine Meadows...

We'll hit the Pocono's several times (Blue, Camelback) and probably ElK. In January I'm heading to Utah (Snowbir,Alta,Solitude & Brighton). Then in February or March it's a family trip to New Hampshire. Don't know if we'll stay at Mittersill or Attitash. and ski several different places.

 

[bigbog]

Maine: (inbound)
Sugarloaf
Saddleback
Sunday River

Vermont/NH: (hopefully a couple days)

Anything else would be bonus times..........

 

[deadheadskier]

Definites:

Ragged - pass
Black - chad card ticket
Stowe

Highly Likely:

Sunday River
Sugarloaf
Gunstock - never been, is closer to home than Ragged and offers night skiing. Might be a better pass option, so I want to check it out.

I'll probably make it to five or six of these below for a day or two:

Cannon
Wildcat
Jay
Sugarbush
Killington
Okemo
MRG
Stratton
Burke
Magic
Saddleback

Realistic new visits:

Hoping to hit up Owl's Head and Orford for a Quebec weekend.

Long shot:

Trip to Utah. Got a place to stay. Depends if I have the cash for the plane ticket, lift tickes and beer / food.

 

[2knees]

lots of killington this year
magic a few times
somewhere near waterville with the kids. maybe ragged again, they loved that place
sugarbush/mrg
would like to get to stowe
and of course sundown.

the rest will just happen.

 

[dmc]

I need to get back to Jay...
And I also want to get to Maine... never been
Also need to get up to Mt Washington... Been a couple years..

Other then that - Kashmir again in February.. No stop to ride Dubai this time..

 

[bvibert]

Magic - still pissed I didn't make it last year
MRG - Just love it up there!
Sugarbush - Hopefully at least once.
Sugarloaf - Went for the 1st time last year for the AZ summit, I hope to make it up there again this year.
BEast - it's been a few years

Aside from that I'll have the Sundown pass and I'm sure I'll hit some other places as the opportunities pop up.

 

[HD333]

Gunstock - family passes 20 plus times

Maybe a long weekned up in Conway with the family and hit Wildcat and Bretton Woods

Smuggs if the sis/bro-inlaw invite us to stay at their house a 1/2 hr away

Hopefully a random guys weekend somewhere...or should I say ANYWHERE.

 

[andyaxa]

Crotched...a lot. Family pass, kids will be skiing after school and I will be annexing the table back near the fireplace as our new world corporate head quarters satellite office.

Will probably hit Wachusset and Pat's Peak (close to us)

Would like to get up to Black, Wildcat and Cranmore or Attitash. as well for school break.

The Balsams has also always really intrigued me, esp with fresh snow.

 

[hammer]

• Would like to get to Ragged more times this year.
• Should get in a few trips to Crotched and at least one to Pats Peak.
• Hope to get to Wildcat if we can head up to northern NH for a weekend.
• Vacation planned for Park City UT.
• More ski trips with just the spouse...let the kiddos stay at home.

 

[Greg]

Probably the usual - Sundown, Killington, Hunter, Mohawk. A good chance for Sugarbush, MRG, Magic, BEast, and Mount Snow. Sugarloaf is likely too.

 

[Philpug]

Been to:
Squaw
A-Meadows
N*
Heavenly
Sugarbowl
Stowe (ESA event)
Mt. Rose
A-Basin (Mothers Day?)
Jackson Hole (Spring?)

New:
Homewood
Kirkwood
Mammoth
Aspen/Snowmass (ESA event)

I am sure there will be some additions.

 

[Smellytele]

Will get to
Pats Peak - live 5 minutes from it

Hopefully I'll get to
Sugarloaf - guys weekend
Cannon
MRG
Wildcat
Burke

probably get to
Waterville - friends bought a condo there

Man, I see nothing new on that list may have throw in a Magic or something

 

[farlep99]

Magic for the season!
MRG-Prob 1 weekend
Zermatt, CH
Zell am See, AT
Saalbach, AT.

 

[speden]

I'll probably open the season at Pat's Peak to get my ski legs back, since they have some easy terrain and good snowmaking. Then a day or two at Wachusett to try some demo skis, unless I can find a better place close to home with a good selection of demos.

After that, Gunstock and Sunapee for more vertical close to home.

If southern NH gets a good dump, I'll probably do a day at Ragged, depending on how fast they get their trails open this year.

I've read so much about Sugarloaf I hope to make an overnight trip up there, even though my skill level won't allow me to hit the most interesting stuff. But I'd like to see first hand what's available in case I ever improve. It would hopefully be inspiring.

I'll probably skip southern Vermont this year as it seems better to drive further north rather than track west from Boston. So that might mean a trip to northern NH if the snow looks good, maybe Bretton Woods or Wildcat, or perhaps Jay if I feel like driving that far.

Might do a day at Loon although I'm a somewhat ambivalent towards the place. I'd like to try Cannon, but I'm a little scared off by it's reputation for being icy and more for experts, so that one's unlikely this season.

Then if it works out, do one trip out west. Leaning towards the SLC area for February, but will probably wait to see who gets the snow this season before booking anything. Kind of intrigued by the thought of Cat skiing at Powder Mountain for some reason.

Of course all that depends on how my legs hold up. You hear that legs?

If you're fine going to Wildcat, Cannon shouldn't intimidate you.
