Ski Diva Extraordinaire
not done yet, I think I"m at 30 days and should have more to add :-) wow I'm beating the pass big time!
Nice to live near an Alterra location.
Still beats my location in the southeast. Snowshoe in WV is a 6-7 hour drive from Raleigh and there are very limited lodging options besides resort condos/rooms. Only has around 200 acres compared to over 600 for Tremblant. The two relatively long black runs at Snowshoe (Western Territory) would be blue at Tremblant, and take under five minutes to finish.5 hour drive, but with the seasonal rental....
With Killington staying open into June, along with Mammoth and Squaw open until July 7th, wonder how many Ikon 2018-19 passholders will get in bonus ski days who didn't renew for 2019-20. I imagine there are new Ikon passholders who bought at the early bird price in Mar-Apr 2019 in order to get in some spring skiing.
Anyone remember which resort(s) in the northeast opened in 2018 after Killington? Having at least one location within driving distance open during early, early season as well as long after other resorts are closed is presumably a reason for someone in the northeast to choose Ikon over Epic. Especially if a May/June trip to Mammoth is possible, as a few Divas are doing soon.
Was Sunday River open before Thanksgiving last fall? I skied Killington on my way to Boston for the holiday week. I'm used to a few places being open the weekend after Thanksgiving. Opening by mid-November seems more unusual.Sunday River is always usually around the same day as Killington for opening. Sometimes it’s the same day or off by a day or two, but relatively close.
