New England 2018/19 Northeast

Anyone going to be at Stratton on the 9th?

Annual spring demo day sounds like fun.

Was too beat to attend yesterdays demo day at Camelback in the Poconos. Besides it would've been entirely underwhelming having spent last week in B.C. where I didn't bother doing Whistler/Blackcomb $20/day demo's. Was very happy on my 90eights in the weeks well preserved soft and windblown from 7" the day before I arrived and even more so on last Thursday's 4" refresher. Would've been nice to have been hit with the dump Jackson got last week but I couldn't complain.

Anyway, I'll think about it.

Are you open to skiing another MTN on Sunday because If I go, higher chances for that if Sunday's forcasted snow happens, I'd do Sunday at either Sugarbush, Ktown or maybe Okemo (Epic), but not Stratton?

60% chance I will be at SB Sunday. What's your BSL?

since ppl are posting Catskills areas in this thread I will too, was at Windham Friday 3/1 and today 3/5. A little fresh Sunday to Monday made super conditions, today it stayed cold and supposed to stay that way the next couple days. East peak is a little scratchy in some places (ice coming thru) but otherwise groomed (except for untouched noted on website) and not crunchy. Go get it. Running up C looking at Warmup:

Peaks Pass released today for Mt snow , wildcat, attitash, Hunter. . Looks to be same pricing as last year,and includes this spring.

For me, no Western mountain option is driving me to the IKON.

We are actually not renewing our peak passes this year. Have access to other discounts at Snow for whenever we'd like to go. Was leaning toward IKON but I think we are holding off and will focus on bromley and magic with the occasional snow trip and killington spring pass come March. If we want to go to killington mid season we can go on one of the ski club trips. Out west is usually with ski club too so no real motivation to IKON at this point.

Anyone know what Ski brands to expect at Stratton Annual Spring Demo Day this Saturday?

 

[Marker]

If I recall correctly from a previous thread, the Peak Pass does well with the younger crowd as it gives them a lot of options in the NE within driving distance, but I can see where Ikon or Epic serves older skiers better since they are more likely to travel west.

 

[Wilhelmson]

In addition to unlimited at Stratton, Ikon provides 7 days each at Killington, Sugarbush, Loon, Sunday River, and Sugarloaf. That's a lot of days.

I’m curious as well, might be fun to check out the upcoming new stuff for next year.

 

[Phelmut]

Wow, didn't realize Stratton was unlimited, but that's not the base pass. 5 days at each for the base pass and then a few blackout days.

 

[Coach13]

@Erik Timmerman and his Stowe reports have been missing from this and other threads as of late. I hope he’s good and just busy teaching folks to ski better!

Shows skied amazingly this am. Wind blown inch or three over super grippy courdoroy, combined with excellent visibility- fun morning before work.

if you spot a person in citrus plaid, make sure to introduce yourself as Noble Gassy Epiphyte?

Yeah about that, I'll have to miss this one, my budds helium, argon, krypton, xenon and radon aren't feeling Stratton's potential for constant and random motion.

Ok, actually I overdid it again resulting in nasty bursitis of the elbow I shredded a few years back on a section of rocky trail.
Doctor recommends giving it a week or two before seeking constant and random motion on

Right, 'K, see ya at the ballast booths of the grow light show

 

[EricG]

Smuggs was super nice this morning. Long cruisers with no people. Clouds were nonexistent. I almost took a photo of the place that shall not be named. But I stopped myself..

 

[SKI-3PO]

Beautiful day at Sugarbush today with my son.

 

[LiquidFeet]

There was a death at Cannon today. Someone said collision between two skiers, but that was not an official report.
Nothing much official yet in the news.
