Which mountain do you prefer (Mount Snow, Stratton, Killingon)?

[gmcunni]

I personally like K-town the best. The woods there are always on point, deep in the ramshead ones there is never a shortage of freshies!

where on ramshead?

Not for nothing Pico was awesome yesterday. They had 5" of snow Tues & then another 5" Wed. night of light fluff. The area is closed Tues./Wed. All that snow was just laying there waiting to be gobbled up Thurs. morning. Very quiet skiing if you know what I mean & everything was in. Parking lot was 3/4 full but you would never know that by the number of people on the mountain. Fantastic day. A little to nippy up there for me this morning so I opted to drive home.

Will be there tomorrow. Much love for Pico.

I finished shoveling about 3 feet off my back deck up here at Mount Snow a little while ago - that encompassed both big storms in the last 10 days or so plus a few other over performing clippers up here. It was light from top to bottom and even on my highly wind buffed deck, there was very little wind slab in the entire snow column - its going to be GOOD here this weekend, and that's before the 18" or so expected from Sat - Tues falls!!

If I recall right, you can't get a good deal on tickets for Stratton.

How about 27.72 each for 3 people over 6 days of skiing bought the Intrawest pass for 499 and my two under 13 year olds passes are free. I know it isn't that great of a deal if I didn't have kids but for now it works. Hell I ski WAWA every Sunday so whenever I can get out I'll take it.

I usually ski Killington but I'm getting a little bored. I've hit it so many times over the past couple of years

I don't understand this post. Been a season pass holder at K for well over 10 years. Skied there quite a bit for over 40 years. I'm not bored with the place. I do enjoy skiing other mountains though but to say I'm bored with Killington doesn't compute. Put in over 30 days there last year & already up to 10 this year. I do have 4 days at other mountains this year

I understand it completely. Everyone's different, and that makes the world go round.

By nature I am an explorer. I don't like hiking the same trail, ski area, bike route, nor would I want to go to the same place every year for vacation. The world is huge, why limit yourself to the familiar? Frankly, I'm good for one, maybe two days at the same place. I get restless; I enjoy a challenge, something different, something unexpected, something new. I don't feel I need to "master" anything, but I do feel the need to explore, wander meet new people and go to new places.

Looking at this conversely, I would never dis you for being a pass-holder, nor would I say I don't understand pass-holders. Everyone has their own reasons for doing what they do and that's OK with me.

That's the thing billski. I do go to other areas & have been to most places in the northeast & Quebec numerous times, not just once. I'd even say there are areas in VT. that I have skied more days at than K. Been to quite a few places out west too. I don't limit myself to only one area because I'm a passholder there. I like you look for deals to other mountains. I'd say since I'm a passholder 20%-25% of my ski days every year are at other areas. Out of all the areas in the northeast Killington has the most variety & is therefore the hardest place to get bored with. I'm sure there are stashes at K both on & off map that even I have never skied. Having a pass makes skiing more affordable therefore I can ski more days. Isn't that what it's all about? Last year I got my daily skiing cost at K/Pico down to under $15 a day. I don't think even you can get the cost that low looking for deals.

There's nothing to understand.

Some people never travel beyond their own village. Some people are itching to go the next week after returning from 3 months tour of Australia!

And Killington isn't even half the size of an average western resort. If everyone is content to ski the same mountain for 10 years, there wouldn't be a need for Steamboat, never mind Vail or Big Sky.

I envy those who're happy with whatever they got. I have a friend who ski Bromley for years and years, never got bored. K would be a waste
