i live in the detroit area and i would be going mid january, how does this sound?

leave early first day and drive to whiteface ny, ski that night

go to stowe or killington the next day

go to bristol ny the next day

drive home the next day

anything i should change? are there cheapass hotels around these places? thanks
 
stuff you should change:

The new york resorts to Waterville and Loon

And extend the length of this trip to "winter Months"
 
it can only be 4 days, whats wrong with whiteface? and bristol is just a stop on the way home to split the drive home in half
 
dude YES! trust me, if your looking for park, WATERVILLE AND LOON=MUST...or if ur just looking for Waffle Hause, go to waterville
 
killington may seem awesome to you compared to michigan but my opinion is skip killington and go to sugarbush or something like that cause the skiing there is much better but if youre just looking for park than go to killington
 
whats the word on whiteface? someone wanna tell me what i should do here, and take into account driving times. and i need cheapass hotels. 4 to 5 days. and a little bit of park but the real reason is long runs with awesome snow and skiing.
 
alright how bout this, leave after school on a friday to vermont, ski saturday at stowe, ski sunday at jay, drive to bristol on monday and ski, and drive home tuesday
 
whiteface is a nice mountain if you're looking for good groomers and glades and such. idk about their parks, but there's also lots to do in town if you have some time. it just gets really really cold. whiteface is more of a "vacation" that you would take and spend a few days skiing and a few days doing other stuff.
 
bristol wont have a park worth skiing up by then and the rest of the mountain is just racing trails and ice.

I would try and make a little money between now and then, and find some cheap plane tickets to somewhere out west. Southwest usually has 200 round trip tickets at odd times and if you know anyone out west just sleep on there floor.

If you must go east, loon, waterville, and mt snow are the best parks to hit up
 
jay peak is the best resort snow wise in the east. you'd be a fool to skip it. jay peak stowe maybe killy or okemo and thats it.
 
Whiteface is awesome. So high up. It doesn't feel like an eastern mountain. And if you're lucky and the slides are open, thats some of the gnarliest bc in the East.
 
bristol is alright to go to. stop by if you want. i ski there and stuff and they step it up each year. should have a decent park up by then or atleast for rails itll be good.
 
shit i wanted some fresh fish man....its like a fuckin jail man and im a big black guy and hes a skinny lil white boy....i just wanna show him a good time!
 
whiteface will have an okay park by then i'll be there there is a bunch of cheap hotels around there pm for more info
 
but seriously....dont go to any western ny resort unless its on your way. bristol is a bunch a bastards that kicked my brother out for the season and wont let me ski right now even tho i got a pass because it hasnt "registered" yet
 
whiteface has a huge vert so if u want to spend more time riding than on the chairlift definitely go there, and lake placid has a ton of bars
