[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OP clearly says "no flying" you dorks. [/quote]

Yeah but it’s kind of like the HGTV shows where people want a bigger, upgraded house in their same neighborhood for the same mortgage they’re paying now.  Good luck!  [/quote]

True. But the question can be answered.

If you don't wish to answer OP's question start a spinoff thread on why mid Atlantic skiing is rarely worth it. [/quote]

Snowshoe is worth it when you have kids who are still learning. Big waste of money to fly them out west when they can't handle those slopes yet.[/quote]

We started our kid out west. For us it wasn't a waste of money - our 4 year old was skiing greens from the top of the mountain by day two and my husband and I enjoyed a week of amazing skiing while the kids were in full day lessons. They had super experienced teachers and the conditions were more of a sure thing than at Snowshoe (we flew out on Southwest and would have cancelled had conditions been bad). That said, I still want my kids to ski at local places and in New England so they can deal with cold and ice. But I was happy to have them start somewhere with great conditions where it was 40 degrees and sunny. I was worried a bad first experience might turn them off to the sport. If our budget was tighter we would have done Snowshoe or driven to VT.[/quote]
