Taking a poll: Killington -vs- Stowe -vs- Sugarbush
Stevo
if:
1. You *had* to ski the east cost only.
2. You were gonna spend 7 days.
3. You had 1,500 bucks to spend
4. You were going early January.
Between Killington, Stowe, and Sugarbush,
which would you choose and why?
Stevo
Richard Walsh
for the whole trip.
I like Stowe's mountain better, I like SB's ambience better,
(I like the Mad River Valley's attitude, but it's not really
conducive to Big Corp. <Les Otten> Skiing)
I ski Killington all the time since I'm a Killington Ambassador.
But I also get to ski SB on the same ticket and my GF
grew up skiing Stowe.
hope this helps.

Kill me town is so overblown, full of itself, crowded and obnoxious that you
may as well go to New York City. Sugarbush is just about the same. At Stowe,
you can be alone, or in the crowd - your choice. You con not find more
difficult terrain on the east coast, intermediates find plenty of places to
ski and improve. If you're looking for a neat town with plenty of stuff to
do, you're at home at Stowe as well.
Enjoy,

While I agree with your assessment of Killington, I don;t quite think Sugarbush
is the same. Sure, it's taken steps in that direction since ASC got a hold of
it, but I think it still stands half way in between good ole VT skiing (Mad
River, Stowe, Jay, etc.) and the Killington/Stratton/Mt Snow snobbishness.
>At Stowe,
>you can be alone, or in the crowd - your choice. You con not find more
>difficult terrain on the east coast
Though I've never hiked to the top to ski the face above the gondola, I've
skied the toughest marked terrain Stowe has. And while it's most difficult than
anything Killington has (yes, even more difficult than Outer Limits, the
"longest-steepest-
toughest-we're-full-of-shit-and-ourselves-
mogul run in the east") I've found tougher stuff at Jay Peak, Sugarloaf, and
Mad River.
But out of the three choices (Killington, Stowe, Sugarbush), if difficulty was
a deciding factor, I'd go Stowe. Overall, however, I might go to Sugarbush -
more terrian without the Killington snobs.

You are going for 7 days right? If you are
starting on a weekend day, start at the 'bush
and buy a mag7 ticket (7 day ticket with
discounted rates). On monday, goto Killington
and check out the mountain. If you like, you can
goto MtSnow in the south (VT) and check out
what used to be known as Mascara Mountain,
or NYC North. All three places in VT are ASC
resorts, the day pass costs the same and a
mag7 card/ticket works at all three.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, the Mad River Valley INCLUDES
Sugarbush (north and south) AND Mad River Glen.
Plenty of night life in the area. Try the venerable
Blue Tooth, for one place, on the SB access road, and
have breakfast at my friends lodge and breakfast
restaurant "Peppers" on German Flats Road, across
from the Sugarbush Inn.

40 miles, 50 minutes up route 100. You could

Rochester comes to mind, and ski both with
a mag7 ticket and ski Mt. Snow on your way home.

have Horvy in charge of the MMSC
Killington for beer, noise and other necessary features of ski holiday
silliness.
SB for MRG and lots of good skiing with reasonable nightlife that won't keep
you awake if what you want to do is sleep.
In real life I'd go to Stowe for three days and SB for 4. But in really real
life I go anywhere I can. Have a good trip. If its not the best, ok, make it
better next time.

Stay at (near) Sugarbush. You can ski SB, MRG, and drive to Stowe (1/2 hr or so).
Killington is about an hour away. If you want to drive a little further, you can
go to Smuggler's or Jay Peak from Sugarbush.

Please allow me to answer this query with the following list
Teperatures that hover just above 32 F much of the time and then after they
have made the snow all nice and slushy drop to below and make it all hard solid
lumpy frozen slush.
Rain, sleet, slush, slop and milkshake.
Ice storms
Drivers who can not handle 4 mm of snow cover on the road
Maryland's propensity for spreading tons of salt on the roads
Rocks that stick out of the snow
Dirt that sticks out of the snow
Mud where melting snow and dirt mix
Signs that say things like "No air" (Roundtop) or "Ski the trees, lose your
pass" (Whitetail) Of course if you tried to ski the trees at WT you would lose
more than your pass since the only snow is on the trails.
Very high prices for very low hills.
Rattlesnakes. (I work the bike races in the summer, Hot, dirty and yes there
are rattlesnakes)
Vermont is a long way away, and NYC is right smack in the middle of the road
north which makes the drive even worse.
And what's good about skiing PA? Its what I got and I'm happy to have it.

Camelback is in the wrong division of PARA for us to get to yet. When she gets
to JII we will ski there. Until then its Liberty, Roundtop, Tussey, WT with
the occaisional foray to BlueMT and if she makes the Derby again 7 Spgs., Every
couple of years we get to Canaan/Timberline which is not in PA but in WVA so it
doesn't count. (but Tbl) is a fun place. We used to race at Blue Knob, but
they packed it in and moved over to to the western division. That's a great
place if you like ice short, narrow trails and a lift system that predates
Xxxx's.
Of course race day is not at all like an ordinary family's day of skiing.
You spend lots of time standing at the top of the race course. More time
sideslipping the course, You ski the run next to the race course a couple of
times but you are usually too keyed up to remember much of it.. Watch some
racers, goof around with your friends, put some f4 on your bases. You get two
shots at the course yourself. If you're mom you get to ski next to the race
course carrying 4 jackets and 3 pairs of pants, You stand around more than the
kid does. You might be gang pressed into keeping gates or handtiming, in which
case you really stand around. The weather rarely cooperates. We have had
races in such low visibility that the course had little bits of evergreen in
the rut to get the kids from one slalom gate to the next. If you're little
brother you get to ski all over the place with siblings of other racers and
generally get away with all the things your own mountain and coaches would
never let you do. One of the funniest is watching the little siblings at
Roundtop, They go over to Gunbarrels and play human slalom gates with the
unwitting adults who are trying to make it down the headwall, They ski the
bumps and catch air right in front of the patrollers, who usually just look
the other way.
Rebecca, looking forward to standing around.

Castlerock, Mad River - Stowe to the North and the Big K that you love to hate to the
south. The farther from the hideous Mt. Snow - the better. If Sugarbush doesn't have all
that you want, then you should consider an AA meeting.
This year - go to Sugarbush. Next year do it even better and go to the Loaf.

they'll be off doing their own think and you'll actually be able to ski for

Given the other things you have to say about skiing in ice and slush in the
rain, standing around might not be such a bad idea <g>. I think it would get
to me if there were powder bowls beckoning nearby.
I did have fresh powder at Camelback once. It started coming down early in
the afternoon, and within an hour or so, 1-2" had accumulated. Camelback
promptly shot down the ski lifts, so they could bring out the groomers and
grind the powder down into their hardpack. I kid you not!

yes that's about right. You see many folks out here can't handle the soft
fluffy new snow. We had a great storm last year in early March. 8 inches of
nice soft fluffy snow. Had the hill almost to ourselves because every one else
was either rushing home to beat the storm, or in the lodge griping about how
hard it was to ski.

I learned to ski in the pocono's,

There's never enough snow.

Their longest run is shorter than my drivway.
It's like paying for three scoops of basken robins,

It's three hours from my door,

Dear Mr Stevo
So do you have a direct connection to the gods of sub freezing temperatures
and snow?
You got an honest answer from me, albeit disquised as a jab at Mr Horvath.
If I were to go to Vermont I would spend the first 4 days at SB and then go to
Stowe.
If I had a week off and chose to drive up north I probably wouldn't go to
Vermont at all but to Quebec or Maine. But you didn't ask where others would
go, you asked for us to help you choose between Kill-ton, SB and Stowe.

Well, that's two more than I found. The mall is new since I skied there. And
I never stayed for the night skiing.
And those crowds aren't just any old crowd -- you can encounter flocks of

Wash., D.C.

What about Tremblant?
Stevo
carvemeister
> What about Tremblant?
Tremblant? Tell you what - Tremblant is a Great ski RESORT and a very good mountain. It's
a little bit of a haul, although I think I made it last year for president's week in
around 8.5 hrs. actual drive time from Eastern Long Island. There is no resort east of the
Mississippi that comes close for ambiance and amenities. Killington SUCKS compared to the
atmosphere at Tremblant.
However, the mountain does not have a whole lot for the real advanced skier. One or two
real steep, short trails, some great advanced cruising runs, a couple of excellent glades
(Emotion) and a very nice mix for all ability levels. It only falls short in the real
challenging steeps/moguls category. Far more challenge at MRG, The Big K, The Bush and
Stowe in this category. The lift system is very good and the food is Outstanding. Slopes
were rather uncrowded President's week compared to U.S. resorts and the snowmaking system
is fabulous.
Only other problem is that you could freeze your ass off there - although last Feb. I was
there it never got colder than about 15 degrees - but I was lucky.
Unless you're a die hard Stowe/goat or Mad River/paradise type guy - you'd probably love
Tremblant.

Bush for me. My wife worked there when I lived in Waterbury - hands down the most terrain
(the quad over to Ellen was quick and no waiting).
Besides, the skiing tradition in Vermont isn't like anywhere else I've seen. People live
there because they like the skiing. I live in Park City now, and while there is a LOT more
terrain and snow, the skiing community is nothing like Vermont.
Darn. Now I'm gonna get all teary-eyed again :)

It has some very good trails for intermediate to advance skiers. If you are
into moguls they have some very nice runs. They have 7 with different
terrain and challenges.

Wouldn't that be the nuts? Enclosing a ski area so people can stand
to ski there because it's too cold? While they are enclosing slopes
in LA (or nearby), Japan and England just so you can ski when it's
not cold enough.
