I always want to ski somewhere new each year. My modest goal this year is Middlebury Snow Bowl. It's only about 1/2 hour from where I live and the tickets are cheap. My son and I hiked through last summer where the Long Trail crosses SB and even though it was covered in grass I found myself checking out the trails and planning some skiing.

How about you? Anywhere new this year? Why that particular resort?

Sugarbush and possibly MRG because of the AZ gathering. I havn't made any reservations yet because of family issues but I am definately doing my best to make it.

I have season pass' at Crystal mountain, Michigan, and Abasin, Colorado, however, the way I'm feeling right now is like I'll never ski again.
Come on Snow!!!!!
Where will I ski for the first time ever?...........Breck, Keystone, and maybe MT Bohemia!

Stratton since I won a ticket there. Okemo because I've been sitting on a gift certificate there for 2 years now. Who knows where else the season will bring me.

I skied Mount Snow on Friday 11/16, it was my first time there. The reason: it was the closest mountain that was open during the day on Friday.

I want to get around a lot since I'll have plenty of opportunities and don't have a pass this year. I've already got plans for Jay, Stratton, and a trip to Snowbird & Alta. I hope to make it to Wildcat, Sugarbush, and MRG for the first time, too.

Most likely it will be Crotched ...

Crotched is on my list as well... a friend of mine ski patrols there, and they (the ski patrol) get a stack of lift tickets to give to friends every day... so it'll be new, it'll be free, and it'll be skiing with a friend who can save me if I end up making good friends with a tree / lift tower... what's not to love?

It's looking like good ol' Wachusett this weekend at some point. Probably just an afternoon. Hunter on the 14th will be my first full day. I'm not going to get much skiing in until after the holidays this season.

first times

Looking seriously at first times @ Middlebury and Suicide Six (both Vermont). Some day (next year, maybe) it well be Dartmouth Snowbowl, I think. I don't think I'll ever go to McIntyre unless they have a souvenir ski pin.:roll:

Ragged was new for both my son and I. There is not much left in New England that I have not skied, mostly all that is left are small places with the Exception of about 50% of New Hampshire which we are slowly working on.

So far this year: Bromley, Black Mtn, and Jiminy.

Still looking to maybe do Mt Snow, Wawa and Crotched. Also like to get to Ragged.

For actual ski areas, Pat's was a first for me this season. For "where" I have skied for the first time this season, I have found some sensational new stuff and crazy go nuts lines. Some of my best days continue to be one or perhaps two runs.
