stowe, sick backcountry on top of gondola and quad, actually gets above the treeline so building a kicker on the bowl behind the summit at the chin is sick. But gets kinda crowded with weekend warriors, especially on holidays, its never that bad but its kind of annoying. But stowe also gets some pretty insane ammounts of snow, 325 a year.
Sugarbush-sick mountain, line sponsored park, kind of crowded but, line sponsored park.
Stratton-huge park but u have 2 take a freaking class to use it which sucks. Stratton has huge lift lines in spite of the huge lifts and gets really over crowded with weekenders. Id drive another hour 2 the central and northern resorts.
Killington- Pretty sweet cept its so damn big its hard to ski in groups and its hard 2 meet places. BUt the park is nice and their snowmaking is amazing, best in early and late season.
Jay Peak- sick snow, small lines BUt also windy and frigid
Mad River- No Boarders, Sick trees, dont go on weekends the lines are to long.
Smuggs- sucks balls go to stowe.
If u want powder and bc, id say go to tuckermans. I havent been but im heading up this spring, ive only heard good things about it
