East coast mountains pre season

Killington is usually the first place to open on the East Coast, even though there's no top to bottom skiing. If you do go, avoid the first week that they actually open up because there's a mass invasion of Jerrys, but it's still worth going once or twice to get the season started early.
 
Killi but avoid the first 2 weeks, I'd just wait til its top to bottom and the Jerry's are spread out, not sure how Sunday river is but they're open early too.

Idk how vermont's weather is but I wont be shocked if millington starts teasing all of us by end of October, hopefully hitting bone zone at Brighton by mid October.

That's the only reason it's worth it, otherwise its ice, jerrys, and those asshole 35+ y/os that go hard on everything they do.

this is very true, for me anytime on snow before december is well worth it rails or no rails there is always something u can find to sesh
 
Stratton should be open thanksgiving if the temps drop a little bit, last year we had a small ass rail park hidden away at the carpet like a few days after opening. Fingers crossed

If your closer south snowshoe West Virginia opens on thanksgiving weekend or the weekend before and normally has a small park
 
Anyone know if Killi is chill about overnight parking in the lot? If not, spot recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

They have a lower lot where they offer camping during the summer so I bet they’re still chill about overnight parking there.

We camped in Gifford Woods State Park last year, it is 100% free in the off season, just have to apply for permission from the warden online. We had a covered lean too to pitch our tents in, plus a fire pit and table for cooking. Makes the pre season rip to killington worth it from Ontario!
