There is a 50/50 chance I will take an overnight with my kids doing 6 Flags New England on Wed (we have 6 flags pass), then getting a hotel near Sugarbush and skiing there on Thursday. Have a couple free passes to SB for kids and they are offering pretty good discount for an adult ticket. If I get in one more day, that will be it. Otherwise done til November.

Was on my older Fischer skis as I correctly anticipated a day not to use newer skis - definitely had to dodge some rocks on a couple runs, and there were bare spots. Good for them for going for one more weekend day, but they definitely included some sketchy trails in the open count.

It was definitely on the warm side for skiing by the afternoon, and the number of slushy areas and bare spots made it a sub optimal experience. In contrast, I think last week at Hunter I got in my most vertical of the year, or close to it. So basically I skied every run that was open once (except for one or two Blues that were a hike from open lifts), and none were really so great that I really wanted to ski them again. I wish it had been better conditions, but it was still a nice time in a beautiful setting and I am glad to have spent the day that way. Liked the new gondolas too, first time on those. Still very clean and no smoke odor at the end of season 1.

I hit Whitetail and Hunter closing days

A little slushcuppy at the finish of each run but good times. Hit 3 closing days this Spring

It is now. That was only recently announced.

Where do you start?

730 AM which should get me there about 10:20, likely ski til close. And get home by 7. Glad to carpool with anyone interested in going, even meeting somewhere en route.

Take it to the people having sex in thin walled hotels thread 😉

It's still $10 more than Snow, but the shorter drive more than makes up for it.

They have a tentative trail report up, indicating Gondola will be open as well as the triple lift 7 to top, along with almost all their diamond and up not glade terrain Quite a deal for $10

Two different guys, though I have further in the past gone to CO with Springsteen guy. Glad GF and I are both divorcees who are done having kids, view idea of marriage with skepticism and not as something to jump into quickly, and value independence as well as closeness. Key levels of compatibility at this stage of life that make a relationship far more likely to endure than if we were on different pages in such regards. If that makes us damaged, so be it.

Re "BFF"(?) - Unfortunately new GF is a not skier. Fortunately we both seem committed to letting one another pursue the activities we love as we are both refugees from marriages with people that did not allow us that freedom.

If there is a place close enough that is open I will get a hotel the night of 17th with girls and ski the 18th with them. Had been hoping to do Mt. Snow that weekend but it now seems they will be weekends only after the 14th. That is the last ski day I can imagine getting in as I have at least pencilled in non ski plans every weekend after that for next 2 months. Would be nice if Gore made it possible as the only place closer than K that hasn't ruled it out yet.

Thanks for the assist stretching the thread to p.2 a couple days before the topic day begins. Clearly a topic with ski legs.

Having discovery lodge open, with rentals, but no beginner only runs seems to me like Gondola has to run, how else could folks ski out of that lodge?

Right, but if they dont run their beginner lift, can you access a TTB green run from Gondola?

Why do you figure no Gondola. Can you ski a green off top of Gondola?

I'm never happy finishing a skison when there is still more I can do in day trip distance, but glad you got to go to CO.

Now up on their site https://www.belleayre.com/the-mountain/snow-report No beginner terrain will be open in case that makes some folks want to reconsider.

Enjoy your "barely skiing" cause it is in your back yard

Dont honestly care if folks join me. I was providing some useful information that is not yet online about a nice offer for folks who want to ski at a fun place at a low cost an easy drive away the weekend after PA skiing ended. If that is a "dick" move the world could use more dicks. I would welcome posts like this over 99% of the posts I read here if someone else were to have posted such info. But by all means stay home cause I provided it in a slightly taunting manner. That will show me.

Belleayre's closing day will be Sat April 13 They are offering discounted lift tickets for only $25 for general public $10 for folks with season pass to another mountain Any of you folks like skiing enough to join me there or are you all hanging them up for the next 7.5 months til Blue opens again cause you dont like skiing enough to take a little drive?

Guess we will find out today or tomorrow if Belleayre will be open and what deal they will offer. Also considering an overnight trip to Snow.

Thanks for the info. Both will be tempting. Will see how they price their offerings. Will be great to have passes usable in PA and CO starting next March. Until then looking forward to spending time at Hunter and Snow and one trip to Peak's NH resorts.
