[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why go out west if you're all beginners? [/quote]

Are you kidding? Skiing in powder is so much easier than skiing on the rocks and ice of eastern mountains. On the other hand skiing the east is so hard, it makes you a better skier--so that when you finally get out west, you think you've died and gone to heaven.[/quote]

Agree.  I learned in the east.  You have to develop good technique to ski on the ice in the east; however, I really didn't improve until I went out west and skiid on the deep powder.  Last time I checked, it was faster and cheaper to go to Colorado than it was to get to the Vermont ski areas.  [/quote]

I drove to Killington last year in 8 hours. That was as fast, and definitely cheaper, than getting to the ski areas in CO, between getting to the airport (in enough time for my skis and luggage to actually make the flight with me - which I've learned the hard way at Dulles is at least 90 minutes in advance), flight time, getting the rental car (the rental car place at DIA is practically in another state), and driving 1.5-2 hours. Granted you are only in VT at the end of the 8 hour drive but it's not a bad option for beginners. [/quote]
