Where Should Trailboss Ski?

[thetrailboss]

OK, I have a Universal Ski Card to use by the end of the season and I've tapped Saturday as the day...assuming that the weather cooperates. I like a good variety of terrain...some steeper stuff prefferred. This time of year I want some good bumps and maybe some trees. The catch is I'm going to be in Worcester, MA (Ms Trailboss has a baby shower...lucky me... :roll: ). Your vote? I've listed the resorts that accept my card.

 

[ALLSKIING]

From your list I clicked Mt Snow. Stratton and Okemo will have little in the way of bumps.

Where to ski?

Mt. Snow will likely have good coverage on the Northface, and there will be at least one trail with bumps there. Oh yes, you could always do Ripcord after the snow softens.

is the ski card good at magic? seems like you're looking at southern new england and magic has the best bumps and trees in southern new england. i have never been to mount snow (or many of the other areas you listed), but from what people say i think mount snow would be your best bet for a slice of bumps and trees.

Guess I evened things up for the *Other*....
A 2-step plan Boss:
1) Put the card out w/note for Ms. Trailboss to see and use!
2) Hop on the earliest flight to ..? would it be Chicago?...and then to Whistler/Blackcomb! 8) :lol:
- Guess you'd have some explaining to do later on though... :lol:

Four words: Mount Snow Raggae Fest

 

[Brettski]

Was at the fest last year...it was happenin...

Went out to some club down the road...had a great reggae band....closed the place...

Lost quite a few brain cells that night....

Still hit the first chair on Sunday...

Sobe should be there...their energy drink was extremely helpful on Sunday...

I second the vote for Magic if they take your card!

 

[thetrailboss]

Yes, I believe that Magic is on the card...but I'm watching the weather here and keeping my fingers crossed because our little hill has said that they are going to try and reopen for this weekend! So, we'll be there on Sunday but I'm thinking of maybe staying closer to Worcester on Saturday...hear me out...I'm going to be driving clear to Vermont Law for their open house on Friday (oy) and then back to Worcester, so a part of me doesn't want to drive to the end of the earth on Saturday :roll:

 

[Vortex]

Sunapee, cause its close and easy. The ride will be similar to your pats drive.

 

[bvibert]

Weather is definately going to play a factor. The conditions were great at Magic on Friday, but with the NCP and warm weather this week the coverage may not be too good...

 

[bvibert]

Looks like you can forget about Magic, according to the Magic Website they're closed for the season...

 

[BeanoNYC]

Magic is closed for the season, according to their website. Too bad, I was planning on going up tomorrow. Guess it's Okemo or the big K.....maybe loon .... I dunno. Definately M.Snow Friday and Saturday, though.

Wow! This rain must've really hurt them. Glad you guys got up there...

 

[BeanoNYC]

look at that ... just seconds apart bv!

 

[bvibert]

Yeah, I guess so! The natural trails were looking pretty thin when we were there, so the rain probably killed them. I'm really glad we made the trip for Easter weekend instead of this coming weekend!!

look at that ... just seconds apart bv!

Great minds think alike I guess... or something like that

 

[thetrailboss]

I've added a late submission to the poll......Ragged Mountain.

 

[Zand]

If you're looking for bumps, I'd say Mount Snow, but Okemo had some nice bump trails when I was there. Then again, I like the smaller, easier bumps. :wink:

If you don't want to drive far, Wawa is right up the street.

 

[ozskier]

Sunday River...
I know it isn't on your card, drop me a PM. I don't think it would be a problem to get you on slope ;-)
