definetly the best in MAINE, sunday river sucks a$$ & thats the next best place, great if you like cross country on a snowboard... personally I think it sucks..
sugarloaf usually has good ski/stay packages like $69-99, steal considering the tickets are 55+, worth the trip IMO. |

If there's snow ... which there is ... Magic Mountain in Londonderry, VT has some great terrain. BUT the lifts are slow and antiquated. |

Its 3.5 hours from New Haven. Are you a licensed driver now Chad?
I should negotiate a weekend retreat at my in-laws VT house. Its 15 minutes from Magic & Okemo and there's also some good backhill poaching right out back. |

overall stowes the best. on a pow day jay peak is the tits. south vt id say okemo has the best tree's/freeriding out of the big 4 in south vt but like anywhere else you have to have local knowledge of the lines. well magic mtn ive had a pass there twice when they first reopened and its OK mtn on a pow day..if theres not at least 10 inches id stay away from magic as they have no idea how to groom a mountain over there and im not sure if they lodge even has a liquor permit yet.
jay peak snow report as of today
New Snow
24 HRS 4 in / 10.2 cm
48 HRS 6 in / 15.2 cm
7 Days 58 in / 147.3 cm
Season Total 177 in / 449.6 cm
yep east coast mother fuckers
and the face of jay is no joke.
