[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are truly committed, season passes. It'll pay off within three trips.

The problem around here is that there isn't great skiing. DC is not Tahoe. It's a to-do to pursue skiing around here. Wisp is maybe the best. It has the altitude to get the snow and the cold. But it's a little far for a day trip. Then you have all the other costs.

Liberty sucks. But might be ok for a kid just learning.

The other alternative is to Spring Break it for week out west. 7 days. The kid will learn how to ski. And then season pass things. I think Vail owns a lot of resorts, including out here. I know for military it's extremely affordable, but there must be some kind of family plan that makes it doable.[/quote]

Having been to Liberty on a cold day after a big dump, I beg to differ. Liberty is a great mountain. What sucks is that it is effectively in the South. Also, their rentals are terrible. But the hill itself is great for a small resort![/quote]

The 100 acres of terrain that they have...are fine. They do feel like ski trails.

To pick a random mountain in VT, and far from the biggest, Okemo is 667 acres.

I think this is a big part of why PP is saying Liberty sucks.
