party needs/would like:
1.not too cold, consider weather
2. X county skiing
3.snowboarding parks
4. good snow(i know this is the east coast and it is very
unperdictable)
5.and Nightlife/tourist cr*p?


thanks for any answer, im open to both


First both can be very pricey.

Last year we had more snow at Killington than did Stowe but Stowe is
farther North.

The year before Stowe was buried in the white stuff.

Not sure about x country at Stowe but the are many x country places
near Killington.

Nothing on the Killington mountain itself but about 2 miles away.

Killington has 3 board parks with a border cross and a large pipe.

As far as night life Killington has a ton of bars mostly geared toward
the 20s crowd.

Many very good restaurants and Rutland is only 20 minutes up Route 4
with many more places, a mall, etc.

Stowe is a village, kinda small but good.

Conditions can vary widely, this is the East Coast and there can be
ice.

If you can ski here, you can ski anywhere in the world.

It can be cold as well, I have seen it -80 F with the wind but I have
also seen it 40 F.

If you are a good skier or boarder, Bear Mountain is the place to go
at Killington or the Glades.

This is Outer Limits the steepest hill in the East.

It's about 1100 feet long and the bumps can be the size of a small
car.
