[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love Vermont.  It isn’t Colorado or Utah, but it’s so much cheaper, and logistically much easier. In addition to saving $$$ on flights, driving to Vermont is a breeze compared to shlepping all your to the airport and flying out west.  [/quote]

Driving to Vermont is not quite a breeze. It's eight hours. It takes me about the same to get all the way to Beaver Creek driving 70 from DEN. I admit I've done it enough to do it blindfolded. But in terms of effort, living all the way down here makes New England really not particularly attractive. It also seems overpriced to me on a value basis.

As far as logistically easier to drive... generally, yes. However; I have a bag that takes almost everything including my skis, along with a boot bag, and United/other majors take it as regular luggage. I'm flying direct to Eagle twice this year from Dulles, so potentially easier.[/quote]

Being a “breeze” is relative.  I still think driving to Vermont is easier than jumping all of your ski gear to the airport and getting to the resorts in Colorado.  Plus the money savings, which is important to me, is huge.[/quote]
