@newsread3.news.atl.earthlink.net: I looking to go up to Jay Peak to do some late east coast riding.....probably in the first week of march... Thats not *that* late! Has anyone been there this year?? I've not, but another guy on the group has earlier in the season. How were the conditions?? He said they were good (then). But its been a tough winter in central and northern VT this year snow wise (little) and temp wise (1st week jan very warm, then extreme cold (-15+), now warm again the past week). There is a possibility of 16 inches in the next few days with more to come in the following week....... Here in the Sugarbush area we have about a foot and it looks about done from the radar. On the mountain theres about 15-17. If not Jay, where would you go on the east coast.....specifically in vermont. Well if you are not having to lock in a place to stay, I would decide as late as possible. The big snow a few weeks back that hit NYC and Boston got Mt. Snow, but very little further north. Othertimes Jay will get dumped on and nobody else gets anything. Also, it depends what you are looking for and time of week. K-Mart can be a zoo on weekends (not to be outdone, Jay has the Cram). If you want short lift lines, Sugarbush can't be beat. Its about the same size as Stowe and has some challenging runs. If you are all about park and pipe I'm guessing mt. snow, K or Stratton, but thats not really my thing. But I think cover will be the #1 issue the rest of the winter, your best bet might be to ring around to a few shops before you go and feel out who is in the best shape. |
