After @ilovepugs made the suggestion of Bromley to me a few weeks ago, I discussed with my (Philadelphia-area-based) sister and dad. I flew in via Albany Wednesday, and they drove up after her workday (she's off on Thursdays.) After breakfast, we headed over to Bromley Mountain, about 9 minutes from the motel I'm staying with in Manchester, VT.
Parking was a snap and the open-air shuttles run very frequently.
My 75 -year-old dad stayed mostly on the greens near East Meadow Chair but he ventured up Alpine Chair with me a few times to ski some nice long green runs through the woods with us. He really hadn't skiied for a few years, so once we planned this trip, he made sure to do a night practicing at a little hill in the Philly burbs.
Us at the end of the day. Dad went back to the car to change boots/helmet while we took our last laps.
It was supposed to be sunny in the afternoon but instead we got quite a nice snow shower. Although up top, visibility and wind was challenging, and it felt colder than that temps indicated, the fresh fluffy stuff was worth it! My sister and I had a lot of fun together. She's very athletic and super high-energy. It's not easy keeping up with her!
They drove home right from the resort (boo) and I went back to my motel bc I had to work for a few hours (boo.) I was so wiped out, I was glad my dad left me a sandwich because I was in no shape to get dressed and drag my weary bucket to a restaurant.
Tomorrow I'm heading to Okemo.
