Well i'm headed to vermont the 15 and was wondering where I should put my money as far as mountains to spend my time. I am going the 15-19 and was wondering if you guys had any sugestions and or imput to where I should go and where I should spend the most time. My plan is to start at Mt. Snow for 2 days then stratton for 1 and ending at killington for 2 but if i'm wrong talk to me and I'll listen......... thanks for the help
 
Then why bother making the trip? you can ski park anywhere.
stowe, jay for tha trees. maybe some mad riv glen for that single chair action.
 
if you want mostly park, you are going to be really disapointed with stratton and killington after going to mt snow. either go to mt snow last for a couple of days, or only go to mt snow. their parks blow stratton and killi out of the water
 
go to okemo rather than killington, and stratton is a decent mountain, but not so much park wise. i'd just go to okemo for two or three days then finish it off at mt snow (the best park in the east right now)
 
keep your eyes on the weather, if we are going to get snow forget about mt snow, you could ski the sickest park on earth and if it's snowy and windy it will still suck. check out jay, stowe, mad river, killy for snow. but if it's going to be blue bird and warm spend 3 out of your 4 days at mt. snow
 
^ truth, also don't forget if it warms up as much as it's suppose to this weekend at mt snow and doesn't snow before the next weekend (when your going up) it'll be ice rink status like it is in the new travelling circus vid. if your not making reservations in advance, i'd just play it by ear and go further north if it hasn't snowed down by mt snow area between now and then. if you go to stowe or killi you can still rip the woods and park, but at mt snow your pretty much locked into park skiing
 
yup

i ride 90% park but when i went to vermont last year i got lost in Stowe's glades all day, it was awesome! seriously one of the most fun ive ever had skiing.as for parks last year i think it was Sugarbush that had this insane jump lane with a roller coaster t-rail and a bunch of other jibtastic shit.
this was as of last winter tho, hope it helps
 
those are geat spots if you like crowded mountains, but if you like it peceful, go to smugglers notch, near killington, or go to mad river glen, they hve old fashioned lifts, but if you do the math, there are less ppl on the slopes, and you get the same amount o runs in, thats becose there are more ppl on the slopes and in the lines , instead of on the lifts themselves, and the faster the lift, the more ppl it dushes out, i love the slow lifts, keep s the mntn nice and clean, plus smuglers notch dosent have that amny ppl to start with, and there the only mtn in the east to have a triple black, so its a grat place ifya wanna relax without havin someones board o your tail all te time
 
Yes smuggs is not nearly as crowded as any of those mountains, but it's a lot farther than all three mountains on his list. But if he does go up to stowe its only about half an hour away.
 
Definately head up to Mt. Snow, Stratton is more of a classy mountain and has more all mountain VS park... I was up at Okemo two weekends ago, and the conditions were decent.. but the parks you could rip all day..
 
i think smuggs has the ghettoest lifts ever. plus if you go to smuggs ill be there woohoo
