Ski Diva Extraordinaire
So, The Boy and I are going to go on a mini-road trip during the time I get off in between the Christmas and New Years holidays. My company shuts for the whole week or two so I've got some free vacation and I think we're going to risk a trip up north to see if we can get some early season skiing in (sad that last year in CO his early season skiing was in October, now we're worried and it'll be in late December!).
We figure the safest bet will be Jay since it's far north and gets some weather. We've been there before and like the no-frills aspect of it. Plan on staying in the Super8 in Newport to save $$ and then also we can decide to go to Stowe or Smuggs depending (not sure on the distance, but I think I remember them all being sorta close together?). Will probably be eating canned tuna and ham sammies.
I know you can't really predict anything for the NE in early season, but any Divas have input on the likelihood of at least a few decent trails being open at Jay? I know there are some locals on here, I don't need all trails to be open, but I'd sure feel alot better if someone would say, 'well most years theres at least X amount of trails open by then...'
Haven't booked yet so depending on the answer maybe we'll be staying home with the fam...
