Here are the websites for the 3 places I have mentioned:

Camelback - http://www.skicamelback.com/
Vertical = 800 ft.

Jack Frost & Big Boulder - http://www.jackfrostbigboulder.com/

Blue Mountain - http://www.skibluemt.com/
Highest vertical = 1082 ft.

 

Jack Frost Big Boulder is cool with me. Nothing special, but you can always count on a decent park at Jack and we can get drunk at night at hit Big Boulder! heh heh

 

Camelback is too small.

Killington, VT. http://www.killington.com/

Very good place and if you stay in Killington Village, they bus you up.

 

Too cold, unless we wait till the end of the season. I don't think it is too much fun to snowboard all "buddled up", just my opinion. I hate the cold, but love snowboarding.

 

Cold doesnt bother me, but the 7 hour drive and other expenses that go along with a VT trip do.

Lets stay "local"....

 

It's perfect there, you will only feel the cold the first hour unless you get caught a freezing day. You'll warm up and sweat pretty quickly regardless. My buddies and I always say that the city feels colder than the mountain when we head home.

The drive from the new york city to Killington is around 6 hours but you get more board time than driving to Camelback where you stand on the lines for an hour and deal with first time boarders/skiier. There is no night skiing but the bars are fun around town.

The other place I find fun is Gore Mountain. http://www.goremountain.com/

Its 4 hours from the city.

I dislike ski village that's too close since everyone goes there on weekend.

 

Def dont plan this trip around me - but i dont feel like driving too far for this....so if you all go somewhere in PA - im in - otherwise, im out.

 

Well, the first one will probably be "local" unless everyone wants VT, then the 2 of us can go to the Poconos. LOL

 

That works......will you be able to keep up with me? hahaha

 

Hmmmmm, question is could you keep up with me? LOL

 

What date are you looking at? VT is too far for me too......

Mad River Glen - Ski It If You Can!

Thats why my plates say SKI MAD

 

Not sure right now, was thinking February or March...depending on the size of the group or what have you. I really want to go this weekend even though it is New Years Eve and stuff. If Jon and I go, I'll let you know...

 

I will go any weekend after my trip to LA & Japan (i get home the 18th)

Id prefer to go somewhere in the poconos because its close to where this girl im dating lives - so i can kill 2 birds with one stone! heh heh

 

i might have to work this saturday morning (till 2 or so) but might be free in the evening.
