Seeking Indy Pass Ski Buddies

[Kathy Bennett]

I am looking to ski at more/different mountains this winter. My husband is recovering from a broken leg and back surgery this spring and won't be joining me on the slopes this winter so I'm looking for others who want to ski around New England. I have an Indy Pass, and have access to many other mountains around North Conway. If anyone wants to meet up to ski, I'd love to hear from you. I'm an advanced skier. I love tree skiing in particular but enjoy skiing all terrain and mountains of all sizes. I joined the Ski Divas at Bretton Woods last winter and that was a lot of fun so I hope to join the group for one of their trips this winter as well. I ski a couple of times a week from Nov. to April - both midweek and weekend.

This belongs in the "Meet on the Hill" section. Problem is you don't have enough posts to see that area. Get posting, then I'll move it.

Welcome! Unfortunately I do not have an Indy pass this year, but I’m sure you’ll find plenty of northeastern divas to ski with!

I'm the opposite of @ilovepugs - we have the Indy Pass, but live in Michigan. However, we DO plan to take trip east sometime this winter, likely to VT, but you never know where else we'll go once we've made the drive that far.

Where do you ski in MI, @Jenny ?

Are you guys coming to Diva East in VT??

I'm usually at Sunday River, if you ever make it over that way.

I think there are plans to get a gathering together at Saddleback sometime as well, which is at least on the Indy and well worth the drive up.

I don’t think so, because end of month is in the middle of the week, IIRC. But I was thinking about it the other day, and going to check dates/locations to see if we could overlap a day or two. Haven’t gotten around to it yet, though. Skiing isn’t really on my radar at this point.

Day trips to Caberfae or Crystal. Oh, and Bittersweet, occasionally. Overnights either Boyne or Nubs, depending on what pass we have. With Indy this year, will be Nubs (happy they were added!) for sure. Do you ski in Michigan?

Hello! Using the Indy Pass in the northeast can be great fun. I and another Diva did a 1-week ski safari based in the Berkshires last season. Even though it was over a holiday weekend, we didn't spend much time waiting in lift lines. Plus using Indy, if we only skied for the morning, it still felt like a worthwhile ski day. I checked out Catamount and West Mountain for the first time. Had two good days at Berkshire East. One of the days a couple other Divas did a day trip to join us at Berkshire East.

Waterville Valley is another good Indy location in my opinion.

If anyone is planning a trip to Berkshire East, hit me up. I live only 1/2 an hour away.

I would be up for a trip like that! I'm self-employed so I have a flexible schedule.

I want to ski Saddleback with my Indy Pass this year. I LOVE Sunday River but without a pass, it's cost prohibitive. If you or others are interested in a group ski at Saddleback, I'm all in!

When is Diva East in VT?

I hope so!

When is Diva East in VT?

The week starting January 30’th. There is a thread in the Divas Only section. If you can’t see that yet, keep posting!!

I know plans are in the works, but unsure if there is a date yet.

@liquidfeet you are one of the Divas heading up this effort, right? Or at least I think I remember seeing it discussed somewhat recently.

 

[Jilly]

This why you need to get more posts. It's in the Diva's only section.

What @MissySki said! Once you have 25 posts you can see the Divas Only section, which is where all the planning threads will be.

Oh and I have a Platinum New England pass at Sunday River, to also get the base Ikon included for Diva West. I’m not even sure what the friend pass percentage off is this year, but happy to offer it to you if you ever want to visit. I think it depends on time of year and day on how good the deal really is, but I don’t usually ever end up using mine so they will most likely be available all season.
