lafcadio Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 For Massachusetts, it's gotta be Berkshire East. It's a super carve-friendly mountain and very un-New England-like: with a generous selection of wide, steep, and groomed trails... and never crowded. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current conditions - bullet proof. On the contrary, they have expanded their terrain offerings. Yesterday was slush and mud. If there is anything left after this recent warm spell and weather system, they will return to the regularly scheduled program of bullet proof. FWIW...prior to last week. Conditions were surprisingly good. If you stick to my program of first lift at 9, in the truck and on the way to the office by 10:30. And NEVER on weekends.

Besides, they had a lot closed setting up for the Special Olympics. It was their day and I just felt in the way. Surprised it got below freezing up there last night. I'm hoping it gets better after I return from MCC, though I suspect it will be a kick in the nuts after that. Let me know when you'll be back. It's lonely. But surprised at the smattering of hardboots I've run into there in the morning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeW Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) A bit of a late comer to this post. As a craver and a groomer, it's really subjective. I've carved Giant Steps and International trail out in Vail. It's extremely rare for them to be groomed but so damn worth it. Also, Bear Tree trail's super fun pending right snow, right conditions, etc. Edited February 15, 2019 by LeeW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do try to do a Safari when I went to a state for ski trip but always constrained by time and funds. Had a chance to sample the following while I was in the area: Snow king(WY), Jackson(WY), and Targhee(ID) <-- only ski area i been to in ID. Sounded like Sun Valley should on my to hit list. What you described was what I feel about: Big Sky, MT Jaw dropping width... Snowbasin(same owner ship as Sun Valley?); very very nice bath room lol. Great carving too but the bathroom made an impression. I've had a pass to both Targhee and Sun Valley for several years, both have epic carving/alpine riders, but Sun Valley is on another level. Also, Grand Targhee Resort is in Alta Wyoming, which is very close to Idaho on most maps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gilmour Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Sept 2 the EPIC pass goes up in price. Last year i bought both the IKON and EPIC. but frankly I think I'm better off with EPIC. IKON IS TOO LIMITING FOR ASPEN 5 or 7 days and really doesn't offer enough good unlimited resorts by comparison. The only advantage I can see for IKON is. Long season at Mammoth ...particularly a long LATE season. Plus Mammoth has superchargers. Also Aspen Buttermilk has Superchargers. ERRR. so really IKON is the pass for people who have their crew of friends and hook ups at Mammoth only and if you like Mammoth you also have to like lots of wind, and flat light and powder that isn't nearly as good as Colorado. Epic lost A basin which was its early season draw, but it just gained 7 days at Sun Valley (definitely on my hit list 2019/2020). Well, my beef with EPIC pass is the resorts it serves are the most crowded. Since EPIC stands for every person in Colorado. For East coasters all thy get are Sunapee (you best fast quick mid week hit for decent vertical ) and Okemo which is only good midweek ..sapphire is fun, but the colliding fall lines are just flat out some of the most bizarre trail cutting I have ever seen ...only NY Hunter Mountain is more dangerous for handling people.
