Now it's official. In addition to my Epic Northeast Midweek, which I'll be able to use at Hunter Mtn (1 hour away) and the Empire Card (discounts on Belleayre, Gore, and Whiteface), I splurged and spent $300 on a pass to a small mountain, Thunder Ridge that's a half-hour away. I hope to be able to take my granddaughter up there so she can try out skiing at the ripe old age of 2 1/2. And it's a place I can easily go for a few hours of skiing without the longer drive, and surely a place I can practice some skills. I've never been there, but it looks like they have a few challenging trails, too.
This is four new mountains to try! I'm going to really miss Okemo (and
@Abbi !) and to a lesser extent, Killington, which I never grew to love because of Mr. Blizzard taking me on terrifying trails early on. I always felt nervous at Killington, even later after I was more than capable on the blue trails. I'll miss the women's workshops and pretty woodsy trails at Suicide Six. But I think (fingers crossed) that there will be enough terrain to keep me on snow this winter, barring lockdowns or closures.
