Where will YOU be skiing this season? (2008-09)

[powderman]

How long ago??? I've been skiing there since 1970'ish--prolly been up the t-bar with ya.

Chair 5 glade is fun, but I've always liked Ronny's Run off Chair 2 and the woods between Zues and Trojan. Bad thing is they cut those "Trojan" woods into a trail and completely ruined some of the best terrain on the hill.:evil:

I skiied there in the 90s. I also liked Ronny's Run and the Trojan Glade but the Lift 5 glade was my favorite when I skiied there. I liked the spacing of the trees better in that glade. I also preffered it's flatter pitch over the steeper pitch the other two glades had. It's a shame that Greek Peak (and other ski areas) are destroying good glades.

I remember hearing Greek Peak would add additional terrain on the East Side but it's still marked as proposed terrain on the trail map. Will this terrain be added?

Definites: Sundown...............gas prices will definitely be a determining factor as to how may of these I get to visit.

I suspect Sundown may just have a banner year this season to celebrate their 40th season, specifically for the point you just made. I might just forgo farther trips to places like Hunter or SoVT in favor of the mighty local hill unless snow conditions warrant. I don't think gas prices will impact the number of trips I make to Northern VT much though, or my early or late season jaunts.

Yes, but not sure when they'll dive into it. There still talk of extending Chair 4 about 100 yards up the hill to create more terain for botht the East side and reg side. Those plans are on the back burner now due tho their indoor water park/hotel crap.

I remember that Chair 4 didn't go all the way up, but the terrain after the unloading station is very flat and that doesn't seem like a good area for expansion. Adding Lift 6 and the proposed 3 trails looked interesting though and would be a great addition to the ski area. It's a shame that these local hills are prioritizing on hotels and not adding additional terrain.

Ahh yes. +1 for Magic.

Tis flat flat as you say, but they can catch that ridge adding some darn good terrain that will dump you down to the bottom of chair 5. Again the have plans to ruin another good stash!!!!!

Last year I had big ideas about where I was headed and ended up doing 50 days locally so I'm being realistic this year and we'll see what happens when winter rolls around. Right now this is what I have in mind for 08-09....

Jack Frost (got a mid week only pass this year)
Sno and Blue Possibly a few Sunday nights
Elk
Camelback (only if they give free tix to other mt. pass holders again)
Whiteface (hopefully)
Maybe a Day Trip to Belleayre

 

[Warp Daddy]

For SURE :
Whiteface
Gore
West ( as a double header with Gore on 2nd day )
Titus ( my closest )
Tremblant
Labrador when visiting relatives
Wawa ditto above)
Gunstock
Tenney or Ragged

Possibilities :
Copper ( friend w/condo there)
Mt. St. Anne
Sunday River
Burke
Stowe

 

[Euler]

Mt. Snow (home mountain, have a pass)
Stratton (if they do the give away again)
Bromley
Berkshire East
Sugarbush

Will ski mostly at Mt. Snow as I live 15 minutes down the road. The other's will be once or twince when I can get a good deal or I'm blacked out at Mt. Snow.
