I should have signed up long ago...because I have questions. I've only ever hit the slopes 5 times over the last 8 years, including a couple of 3-day trips to Colorado in '18 (Steamboat) and '19 (Winter Park).
So I'm definitely a beginner with only a few green and a single blue run under my belt (didn't fall!). A good friend of mine introduced me to skiing and gave me some tips and basically held my hand in the beginning.
I haven't taken any proper lessons yet, and I still don't have much confidence on skis, whether it be sloppy wedge turns or even just walking on skis in some situations.
I'd like to take a trip somewhere in the Northeast before this season is over, and focus for 3-4 days on getting instruction and leveling up.
Are resorts in the NY/NJ/PA area, like Hunter, Windham, Camelback, etc. good enough options? Or is it worth going a little farther out to Killington, for example?
I have to figure out location, rentals, getting a lift ticket or a pass for next season which might also be valid right now, etc.
Any input is welcome, thanks much.
