Opening day in North-East USA

[Worst.NS.Member]

Hello all,

My first thread is to ask a simple question. Im sorry if it is a common one but I could not come up with search results.

What is the average opening time for mountains in the NY, VT, MA areas etc? I am planning for a trip to New England this coming season and would like to know when to begin.

Thanks!

like november better off going to colorado

 

[CrazedSkier1080]

best bet for NE would be VT like killington, they are always open really early

 

[ginty]

Killington is usually first one open like week of thanksgiving with a few other spots the rest usually open in early december

Some places open mid november, but impossible to predict when it will be worth going. Jay Peak in vt was crap till after christmas then went off huge.

around thanksgiving usually

killington will prob open earliest, barring a huge early season dump, and without that dump, everything sucks.

Why would you travel all that way to ski the worst part of North America?

 

[ridenslider]

[alev]

the worst part of north america is definitly nebraska or oklamhoma. how could you be happy there?
