It was delicious. I'm becoming a big spender, maybe I should have waited for a McDonalds for something on the dollar menu to save a few bucks. Way to get after it..do you like seafood better than steak? Quote

Paying $180/nt (split two ways) with hot tub and free breakfast 30 min from mt and 30 min from Burlington to go out at nt. (Edit - I just saw Salty made same call - nice!) I'm doing the B-Dubb in in Lake Placid in March. 1 something a night (can't remember)...split one way. 2 Quote

Things are definitely getting sketchy out this way with roads and ice so be careful if you actually do come home tonight. It is legit slick out there. The 3rd worst kind of slick. 2 1 Quote

It looks pretty gnarly with large rocks and whatnot. At least they gave us plebs Main Street, but I didn't run it anyway because Upper Smugglers was more funnerer. I also did Spruce Line which is under the Sensation Quad. They call that a double black but it would probably be a green circle at Jackson Hole. Edited February 5, 2022 by saltyant Quote

Williston is very nice..a lot of chain stores there. Did you know billboards are not allowed in Vermont? Fairfield Inn sounds nice. I was looking at hotels for Silverthorne and there’s a nice one that accepts my united airlines points and parking is $20 a day at the hotel..crazy places are starting to charge for parking. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 5, 2022 Report Posted February 5, 2022 Wow 8 degrees in Williston..at first I got Williston North Dakota..maybe I’ll go there on a motorcycle trip with Matt Edge and Indiggio 1 1 Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted February 7, 2022 Report Posted February 7, 2022 Parked at Toll House 50' from lift at 9am. Had no lines sticking to Spruce Peak (easier to take breaks there as windchill early in day were sub zero) through 1pm Sun with beautiful snow cover on trails and woods. After lunch much warmer had about 7 min line for Gondola then no line for last run off Forerunner Quad back down to Toll House, winding through woods whenever possible. Friend snapped those photos showing me in trees on Spruce Peak. Back for more today through Wed. 1 1 Quote
tarponhead Posted February 7, 2022 Report Posted February 7, 2022 So jelly. I had one true powder day at Stowe and it was amazing.Curious what the $ ramifications were canceling vail (flight/lodging) and was it hard to find rooms in Vt with every ski geek on the EC hyper zoomed into this storm?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted February 7, 2022 Report Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Only lost $75 Frontier mile restocking fee canceling on Vail. There were about no rooms in Stowe but plenty in Burlington and glad to get BW in Watetbury which I have stayed at several times now. Breakfast even beats Hampton Inn. Net savings about $550-600 each between no airport parking, cheaper hotel, no car rental, free breakfast. Edited February 7, 2022 by Ski2Live Live2Ski 2 Quote

JFskiDan Posted February 7, 2022 Report Posted February 7, 2022 Dont forget to deduct gas to vermont, but divide by 2 since im sure you made your buddy pay up. Also wear and tear on the car. 1 1 Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted February 7, 2022 Report Posted February 7, 2022 Yep more gas, tolls, wear and tear. Didn't do it to save $ just a nice side effect. Did it for better snow and cause I despise flying. Quote
