burton71 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Definitely Aspen, but perhaps substituting Telluride for Jackson. Friends of ours have a house at the base of Mountain Village that is ski in/ski out and have offered it up. Tempting with all the new terrain they've added. I'd recommend it, I went to Telly last season and will definitely be making the trip back soon. Lots of fun terrain if you don't mind hiking a bit.

Ride Delaware ? Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 just bought a set of K58 tix for k-mart. we're doing an okemo/k-mart trip mid january (two days each). Which one are you planning on hitting first? Logical travel would say go to K-Mart first and then Okemo on the way back from K, but it's really only an hour difference if you would rather do the opposite. Although K-Mart gets a bunch of crap, between those two mountains, I definitely feel like you would want to finish at K-Mart due to size and snow conditions...

guitar73 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 we'll be staying near k-mart and skiing okemo first (sun/mon) and then k-mart (tues/weds). i like starting w/ okemo just b/c it's supposed to be not as challenging....good for a warm-up. also, the masses shouldn't be at k-mart mid week **crosses fingers**.

You hit it right on the head... That's exactly how I would go and for the exact same reasons... I understand what your saying GSS, but sometimes planning makes a huge difference... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbike-ski Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 agreed okemo would be a letdown after killington unless u get dumped on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 agreed okemo would be a letdown after killington unless u get dumped on Even then I would probably take Killington... They have better trees IMO, a better upslope position, and a better upper mountain setup if it is elevation based... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride Delaware ? Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 i like dumps Okemo averages like 70 in less than K-Mart because it doesn't see the upslope effect... K-Mart has much bigger potential for dumps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I'll be at Frost once again this year with the occasional night sesh at Boulder and Blue. Will likely ski a day or two at CB at the end of the season. Also hoping to get back to Sno this season; sprinkle in the obligatory day trip to Elk and I have myself a fine PA itinerary. The plan also includes getting back out to my happy place (Little Cottonwood Canyon). What's everyone else doing this year? Damn. Nailed it. That never happens.
