We are going to do a long weekend at Lovett's Inn, in Franconia. Don't have the details, yet. It's near Cannon; we ate at the inn this summer and it's awesome. Our friends have been going there for years. It's ski in/out.
We probably will get to Bretton Woods, too. Not sure about Vermont this year.

Jess, can I crash on your couch?
DH and I skied Loveland a few years ago, and loved it! So different from what we ski here...

Absolutely! I grew up skiing in Virginia, my first day on the slopes here was crazy. I like Utah a little better than CO but just b/c it's cheaper. And because I love Snowbird.
Keep your fingers crossed that A-basin stays open til June so I can get a run or two in this season!!

I skied A-Basin today. It was awesome and not over crowded. It was snowing all day and pretty cold.

I agree that Utah may be cheaper than Aspen, Vail or Telluride but there are multi-mountain passes available to front rangers for all the front range resorts. I skied 73 days last year and it cost me approx. $10 per day. That included all resorts in the Summit Cty area, except Loveland, Winter Park and Steamboat.

Some of us aren't able to get out 73 days in a season
Counting a week in Park City, I went...8 days last year.
But I probably saw you on the webcam at A-basin today! I kept checking to see if it was still snowing.

It's still snowing lightly here on Buffalo Mtn, above the outlet mall. I'm hoping it just keeps snowing and snowing until May, then I start bicycling.

I think we went 3 times last season - Loveland and A-basin. This year, I get an Epic Pass from work (YIPPEEE!!!) and when I was out at lunch today looking at the mountains, it made me long to have that pass in hand!!! Hope we get them before Nov. 11th, as I'm off for the Holiday. Originally Posted by jessmarimba
