Good skiing closish to Boston or New York for day trip.

Gore has some of the nicest glade skiing of any of the big resorts. The
bottom section of the mountain has a few very long glades that make you feel
very alone and very much in the middle of nowhere. If you take your time,
you can spend upwards of half an hour in them at a time.

Well, I'm heading up to Gore Mountain for 4 days. I've never been to
Gore before, but it looks look the fun factor should be equal or better
than Snow, which is where I normally go. It's probably about 45 minutes
further north than Snow, but most of the trip is straight up the thruway
(87). It has about 2100 vertical feet, about 500 more than Snow and it
looks like conditions are quite good right now. 7 of 8 named glades are
open. I can give a little post-trip report Tues night or Weds if you like.

I asked this question last year and ended up heading to Mount Snow,
where I
had a good time despite the bitter cold.

so same question again, Who has good conditions within a similiar drive
time as Mount Snow? Last year it took me a touch under 5 hours with one
stop for coffee. I will only get one days skiing in.

I could fly into either Boston or New York, but need to head back to
Trumbull, CT on the evening after I ski...so would want to be within say
a
4 or 5 hour drive of there.

I mostly ski Europe, off-piste and difficult runs, so am after
anything good and reasonably challenging

thanks in advance,

Greg

I've skied Gore a lot, and when their glades are open they are a lot of
fun (and they are open now, or so the webpage says), but they don't get
as much snow as VT, and also over groom the trails. That aside, Gore
would probably end up being a more driving than VT resorts (at least
Killington and south) if he is starting in NYC/Boston and ending up in
CT. Especially if he is starting in Boston, I'd stick to VT/NH.
