The weekends in Vermont option, no question. I'm not into the park scene though. Someone who is may have a different answer. If that's your thing it may be worth it to stay local and save the gas / money.

Sleeping in the lot?...at Blue? I don't think any PA resort would know how to react to that. They'll probably see you and make you leave after the lifts close.

Jack Frost - only Mt. in the area that allows and encourages tree skiing, some steep terrain, good snow most of the time, going fast and carving turns on Thunderbolt and Challenge, good folks to ski with, get to take a run before riding a lift, nice views. Elk Mt. - decent vert and sustained pitches on trails like Iroquois, and Mohawk, dedicated Bump Run, lots of great skiers there, great snow most of the time Sno Mt - The North Face, White Lightning. Blue Mt. - good lifts, razors, challenge and sidewinder are as fun as it gets in this part of ski country Camelback - good lift system, free tickets to other Mt pass holders, stays open late, Pharaoh and Cliffhanger Big Boulder - opens early and closes late Whiteface - my new favorite Mt. - ridiculous vertical, steeps, Lake Placid

lol PASR day anyone?

from JFBB.com... 08.26.09 | By chris "Jack Frost Mountain staff under the direction of Mark Daubert have been busy clearing out more glades, adding tower guns, replacing snowmaking pipe, and "elevator" work. Here are some teasers of what has been going on this summer. Riders this coming winter will be treated to glade expansions on Challenge and Jane's Lane. The glade on skier's right of Challenge has been extended to the East Mountain Lift. Jane's Lane has new glades also on skier's right that go to D Lift. The crews have been busy installing 18 30' tower guns on various slopes including Thunderbolt and Exhibition!" This is all good news. The challenge glade sounds like it will be sweet although it already skied down to the lift, just had some rocks and logs to look out for. Jane's glade sounds like it'll be fun too and can't wait for the Elevator.

THANK YOU!!!!

Nice find PC. For $25 he must have beat them up pretty good, still looks like an awesome deal though.

I just love the fact that we're talking about WRODS - The season is near!

Lets us know if you saw any good deals. I was thinking about going tonight, may stop by tomorrow if it's worth it.

Forget my last question. I don't think they make them shorter

Nice PC...I'm Interested do they have anything in a shorter length.

You're not alone

That's cool. I'll let it slide....this time I forgot about JADIP!

Sorry, never saw KYS before. Anyway thanks for the updates Fluffy. Keep 'em coming they're much appreciated.

Yeah I'm not sure grooming it would be a good idea. By the way what's KYS?

For me, I'm pretty stoked about some possible new, unofficial, terrain at Frost and skiing some of that with the JF crew. How about you guys? Is it a trip maybe some new gear?

I really hope they get to Vader soon. Anyway, good to hear about challenge and Janes Glade. That gives me a reason to actually go on that side of the Mt. now.

Seriously? Anyway if I had to decide between the two, I'd choose Blue. Although CB has been staying open later in recent years. But if I had to decide solely based on trails / terrain, I'd go Blue.

x3.

Sweetness!! Have fun out there man.

lol..

I think the bike thing is a great idea...but another waterpark?

It's so early but right now it's looking like. Frost (mostly on weekends) BB (one or two nights a week) Elk (1 or 2 days - skipped it the past 2 seasons) CB (if they give out the freebies again) Whiteface Gore (I want to knock this one off the list) And who knows where else.

I would even say 5 mos. and 3 weeks is possible. 6 months sounds so far away.
