Anybody ski southern VT over THanksgiving?


We finally got a little bit of snow and we are supposed to go to Mt Snow on Sunday - just wondering if its worth it!



I know they have "limited terrain" and the employees are not allowed to ski unless they are working

I almost went today to either Sugarbush or Killington, but coverage still looks a little thin. May check out Jiminy on Sunday though, the inaugral tracks of this season...

I skied Mt. Snow yesterday with my 5 year old. They had 3 actual runs open. The conditions were good though.

Did hit Jiminy yesterday, coverage was actually quite good. Being the inaugral tracks of the season, I was a bit rusty. And I have decided to work my technique early in the season so opted to go without poles. The blues were just fine in terms of challenge

went to Okemo sunday, snow was good in the morning, but got icey near the end, there were a ton of people there, you would hit these groups of little kids and have to do your best not to kill one.

I was at Bretton on Saturday and they had much mroe than two runs open. They had many trails open on natural snow. Can you say Short and Sweet untracked with 12"-16" of powder?!?
