[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hot take, if you have this much sticker shock pricing out a trip out west, then it is not worth the premium to you to ski out west.

Go to VT or Maine, spend 5k instead of 10 (I don't see how a family of 5 really gets all in for 7.5 out west as I am cheap AF and 4 days at Killington last year was close to 5k for us, but spectacular, highly recommend Killington OP!).

If you are like, a really regular skier who loves skiing etc then sure go out west, but if you don't even have the skill set to appreciate it (and that isn't an insult just reality) then to me it wouldn't be worth the markup. There is plenty of good skiing a day's drive away where you can bring your gear and spend a lot less.

I'd recommend, Killington or Snowshoe or Sunday River if you want a more resort feel. Stowe if you want that LUX feel. And if you were open to smaller mountains there are a ton you could hop around to in Vermont and Maine.[/quote]

I don't want to be one of those people. Killington can be fantastic, weather dependent. Snowshoe isn't worth the drive ever. Sunday Reiver, meh.

That said, the East Coast taught me to hate skiing. And the Rockies taught me to love it again. I just don't think even northern New England is worth that kind of spend.[/quote]

Sorry snowshoe was a typo I meant sugarloaf![/quote]
