For those of you who ski New England, which resort do you favor between Sunday River and Stowe and why?
In my opinionFor those of you who ski New England, which resort do you favor between Sunday River and Stowe and why?
Stowe | Sunday river |
-On the Epic Pass | -On the New England Pass |
-Can feel exclusive (ritzy or high level skiers only) | -More casual, all levels welcome family feel |
-Lots of nightlife options in downtown area, lots of great restaurants | -More laid back in the evenings, limited night life and restaurants |
-Good grooming | -Great grooming |
-Gets very crowded | -Gets crowded |
-Early main lift opening to get the morning sun, Main mountain goes into shadow by midday. | -I could ski Blind Ambition (mellow glade) all day |
-Generally more challenging terrain, some greens would be blues at other resorts, many blues would be blacks. | -Skiing is very podded- e.g. the Oz terrain is mostly natural and challenging, but Jordan bowl and North Peak are very mellow. |
-Possibly more natural snow? Or at least that is the perception I have. | |
-Parking can be tough, if you aren't staying on mountain, try to stay where you can use the free shuttle. |
Wow, you are awesome! ThanksIn my opinion
