@@adamblais1593 No I just am underwhelmed by Sunday River. Hey glad you like it. I’d rather go to Jay Peak or Sugarloaf among others. Sunday River is OK but nothing that excited me
Secret is out on the gem of the white mts. If you can hack the ride it’s got one of the best main streets,independent stores and restaurants and within 30-90 minutes of eight mountains in nh ,Maine and vt
I just wanna say I love your podcast guys. Keep it going! I’m a new skier here on the east coast. I’ve been trying to get everyone I know into it. And you guys are the best!
Too bad didn't have good time last time family vacation over there. Not very Friendly for family with kids and beginners. Kids school starts the same time as adult, and in a different location, couldn't figure out how to make it work for adult beginner. A week over there, kids loved it. Yet, as a parent, i didn't get over the bunny hill, and i learned skiing in other mountains. Okemo is much more friendly place for beginners.
I love Jay Peak but it's probably best for hardy souls that love the mountains and know how to ride them. Okemo is wonderful for beginners and intermediates.
Was at Jay last weekend when the power outage happened along with the wind holds. Big thank you for compliementing Saturday guest with a snow check. Is why I travel from Canada to this mountain as customer service is top notch.
I live in between powdered ridge and mt southington. Grew up and learned to ski at powder ridge. Then in my twenties learned to snowboard at Mt southington. Worked at powder ridge the first two years they reopened and loved it. Great place to learn to ski and ride.
Jay and Stowe are pretty comparable honestly Jay is far cheaper but Stowe has access to the best backcountry in VT and has more lodging. The actually terrain is comparable but Jay has more glades and Stowe has more cut runs. Overall I give Jay the edge just because of the insane snowfall and its value.
CT Represent! Appreciate you guys showing some love to our local hills and the hard work it takes to keep them afloat. I grew up on, and learned to ski at Mount Southington. It isn't much but its a slope we all cherish. Keep up the great work with the pod!
You use to be open until 10pm up until Covid 19 with good tickets from open to 12 and open to 4pm and my favorite the 4pm to 10pm bring that back at the price it was pre covid-19
I live/ski VT and NH. I do take a week out west, like Vail and Breck. The west is big wide spaces, open bowls and, like Breck, a town to go to for Apres Ski. The east is winding trails, and can get icy. Only Stowe has a real village. All the big places, like Stowe, Killington, Sugarbush, have built huge mountain side resorts that feel like little villages. Cultures are quite different. NE is charming and inviting. Breck and Vail feel kind of chichi. All awesome, just different experiences.
When I first snowboarding here, of course, I was new to snowboarding, but they really help me out. They took some time helping first time I was going up the hills. I got scared, but since the courage they gave me help me now I love snowboarding
Killington, well worth the drive if you live in the south (NC). It takes about 12 hours, but Killington truly is the beast of the east. People in the south don't really understand it, if they have only been exposed to the little, tiny ski mountains of North Carolina.
The new lodge is awesome! That said, no mention of the yurt. Best meal in Vermont. Should have a star. Ski through the back country trees at snowshed lift top skiers right, right down to the yurt. My favorite spot on the mountain!
Love the video, but can tell some of the clips are a bit dated. Don't know how dated, but certainly not from this year (2022-23). For example, Attitash and Wildcat no longer have any sort of terrain parks.
Check out Moguls get the ribs and the house hot wings. Pickle barrel is an awesome club great music and drinks. Lookout tavern awesome place as well good old fashioned and food.
Stowe is a “finger down the throat” resort. No one mentioned that they charge $30 to park before you even buy a ticket. Bought by a western outfit that plays to the rich condo people. Look elsewhere.
I skied at Killington (then called 'Killington Basin') in 1961. (I was 13.) There was the chair on Killington Peak and three Poma lifts in tandem to get you to the top of Snowdon. That's all there was back then. The Poma ride was really fun, over the ungraded liftline. And once you got to the top of Snowdon, there were wonderful glades off to the right. I think it was the first time I had ever skied at the beginning of May. Good memories!
@@zanshan I also heard Jay Peak or Smugglers' Notch. Never been to those resorts, but heard the resort is geared for advanced riders/skiers. Pretty much you can find whatever you're looking for in either of those resorts.
