Looks like a great day with some fresh pow out there. Hoping to hit it up Saturday morning.
-
Based on the weather reports I saw Elk without question.
-
While I go to Killington much more than I like to, for a first timer (to K-Mart) it will definitely have all the terrain your looking for. They also have pretty affordable rates for ski and stay packages which is usually the reason I go there.
Any tips on where to find a decent rate for Killington? I've found there prices to be on the higher end.

I'm trying to do a ski trip next week (3/31 - 4/3) and am considering Mount Snow. What are peoples thoughts on the mountain for a beginner/Novice and an advanced intermediate? Also thoughts on what conditions we should expect up there. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need to book something soon if i'm going to be able to get up there.

Elk 3-20-11
in Elk
Awesome trip report. I wish I could make it up there this weekend but I don't think its in the cards.
-
TP..I hope Johnny Style has 2-ply...
Touche....Touche.
-
Can't wait for this TP. I'm imagining a debacle/debautury of immense proportions.
-
Anybody thinking about hitting it up Friday?
-
Always a good combination cheap beer, college kids and ice laden hills lol.
-
Might be time to consider feeling sick on Thursday/Friday. *Cough Cough*
-
I'm hoping there's something open the first weekend in April in PA be it Elk or Camelback.
-
-
How was it compared to Saturday? This is my first spring season so I'm not sure what typical conditions are but it seemed like conditions were tough on Saturday.
-
Was considering heading there Saturday as I have never been. Anybody have any idea how the conditions are? Is it even worth it this season.
-
Are people trying to meet up tomorrow at Bear? I'll be there in the am just let me know where and when.
-
I'm still up at the mountain so I'll put some more details up later along with some helmet cam. Was awesome meeting up with everybody and guiding me down my first black runs (main street) of my short skiing career. Somebody could of warned me about the chute though. Holy shit didn't see that coming. Will post more later and should be at blue next weekend bear creek tomorrow (free pass to use) and wrap up some more runs today.
-
Ya that pissed me off I was going to hit up some night skiing tonight. Not sure what i'll do now. A little far for me to hit Blue after work.
-
I should be there Sunday but I don't think I have any Gaper Gear lol.
-
Blue has a deep base...Saturday will be good...and they should have no problem makig their projected March 20th closing. Vinny what time are you getting to Blue? Describe yourself so we can spot u. I'll guide you down one of Blues famous black diamonds.
I am not a fan of Jaeger...I drink my sugar free redbull straight. I'm overweight so need to cut calories where I can. The associated muchies are a bitch.
Since its just me this weekend I will probably be there a little before 8. As for what I look like I attached a pic below. I will more than likely have the same get up on Marmot Red/Gray Jacket and Black Spyder ski pants.
-
Looking at the monsoon outside its hard to think about a nice day Saturday but I'll be there from opening as well.
Don't you need some Yaeger with that sugar free red bull?
-
I'm going to be hitting Blue for the first time this weekend (probably Saturday) and figured I would get a roll call out there see if anybody is around. Would like to try a black or two but probably shouldn't by myself. If anybody would like to get together to do some runs let me know.
-
Wow that was so much heat it had to be sent in seperate post.
-
Looking like rain on Sunday this weekend. I am still a beginner skier but I imagine if it rains then I shouldn't even bother trying to hit Blue. What is everyone else's impressions of sking in the rain. Is it doable or a waste of time?
-
I'm considering getting a season pass next year and JFBB offers a pass that is good through the rest of this season plus some other nice perks. What is everyones thoughts on this season pass and other mountains in the area. Anyone have any different suggestions to get the best value for my dollar.
