Where are you skiing this winter?

[hskip]

Super excited to head back to Serre Chevalier this winter for a week. My fifth time now.

Got me thinking, is there a place you always end up always going back to? Or do you prefer testing out new places?

 

[AltaSkier]

I've been spending some time in Revelstoke over the past few seasons, but probably head someplace new this year.

 

[slowrider]

Depends on snowpack.

 

[Yo Momma]

At one of my local mtns where I have a pass. Bretton Woods. I'll never retire if we ski anywhere I don't have a pass. Wifey was just looking at an article this morning reviewing lift tkt per day prices!

Wow great question! Currently we have the following locked in:

• 2-3 times a week at Alpental for my kids Freeride practices (ok one night a week out of those three at Central to work on aerials)
• Crystal
• Stevens
• Sun Peaks (over the holidays)
• Red + plus Cat Skiing with Big Red Cats
• Banff - Sunshine and Lake Louise

We are also likely going to ski Mt. Bachelor as we have a lot of friends in Bend. We also have another 3-5 places we will visit for Freeride competitions that have yet to be booked. Also if all goes well we will try to find somewhere we can ski in May/June to close out the season ... oh and maybe a trip to Whistler if we can find a place to stay that does not require selling off a kidney lol.

Key theme for most of our skiing will be Ikon Pass mountains or Freeride Comps this year ... trying to cut back on what we spend on passes as it gets up there quickly.

Mostly Tremblant. Have booked the "Ultimate Ski Congress" at Mont Ste. Anne in February. And since some things have changed, maybe the Eastern Township trip in March.

 

[skibum4ever]

We have a condo at Mammoth and at Keystone. But this year we bought the Ikon pass that allows us to ski the Aspen areas.

I'm not sure that I want to ski Aspen itself but will certainly ski Buttermilk and Snowmass.

Oh and add Big Sky to the list of if I can find a place to stay that does not require selling off my first born ... etc. lol
Love skiing there, even have passes with both Boyne reciprocal benefits and Ikon Pass, but damn staying there has become crazy $$$
I hear that @BS Slarver is now renting out cots in his garage for like $1000 a night

 

[wooglin]

I generally stay local so Dartmouth Skiway and Whaleback for me. Ragged is my "big" mountain, and I've got a pass there too. My son is in SLC this winter, so I might get out there as well. If he comes to visit he likes Killington.

 

[noncrazycanuck]

Whistler/Blackcomb -local season pass.
Plus a few road trips to our usual stops in BC and Alberta. Depends on conditions as to which.
Used to include a few hills in the US but that's become rare. The bang for our buck isn't as good south of the line.

 

[AltaSkier]

The bang for our buck isn't as good south of the line.

Doesn't seem to good for us here either...

 

[pchewn]

I will be up on Mt Hood (Timberline, Skibowl) with my son and grandsons. I'll be the chaperone, the cook, the driver for sure. I hope I'll do some skiing, but that all depends on the diagnosis of cause, and successful treatment of my "non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis" (muscle disease).

 

[1Turn2Many]

I’ll be heading to places that are friendly, have no lift lines, and don’t ruin much snow by grooming. I’d tell you where but then there would be lift lines.

 

[Nancy Hummel]

Aspen, Snowmass, Highlands

 

[Bad Bob]

Same same! 49* North is the home mountain, but will provably venture out a few days at the other 4 areas within an hour of Spokane.
A nice part about getting older, every time I go back to an old haunt it is like a new mountain. AGAIN!

 

[Shawn]

Ikon Base Pass from the Philly area.

Definite:
-5 days each at Blue (PA) and Camelback for local skiing
-5 days at Windham for longer day trips

Probable:
-I have 5 days at Killington (+2 days of K-tickets) for 7 days total that I'll probably end up using for mostly late season days in March and April.
-Hoping for some quick 1-2 day midweek overnight trips to Sugarbush. Stay at Hostel Tevere.

I'm on parental leave for the winter with an infant, so I haven't had time or energy to do much of anything besides mallwalkin' with a stroller. But I do have at least one day a week that my wife gives me to myself. That's where my skiing can happen.

 

[Wade]

I'll be at Stratton just about every weekend + a couple of weeks at Christmas / New Year

The weekends I won't be there, I'll be in Aspen with my family, at AltaBird with my son, or at Snowbird with some buddies (one of whom snowboards, hence, no Alta on this one).

I'll also ski some other NE mountains when my kids are competing there. The schedule so far looks like we'll also be skiing Killington, Mount Snow, Whiteface and Sugarbush.

It looks like I'll be in the 50 to 60 day range this season, barring injuries etc.

Well I have an interesting ski season planned. Will ski in several different regions of the country. In some ways already started with a couple of visits to Big Snow in the Meadowlands. Next stop will be out to Colorado for a combination of Copper, Winter Park, and Eldora. Back to the east coast for the holidays and New Years and The back yard bump Camelback Pa. 3 weekends scheduled in Northern New England, Stratton in late Jan. Killington in February at a friend house (always a good time) and Loon Mt in Early March. Then back on the silver bird to Denver and the annual western trip to Aspen, Cottonwood Heights and which ever way the wind blows us for the last 2 weeks of March. April becomes a crap shoot. If New Englands in good shape a couple of weekends up there, and if I can arrange it closing weekend at Winter Park. All in all somewhere in the area of 50 to 60 days and then maybe a couple of more times indoors when the weather gets warm here. (Snow skiing and water skiing in the same day is a lot of fun)

 

[capecodbeachfront]

I will have to settle for local West Mountain (does offer night skiing) and Gore Mt. From the past I would love to turn back the clock 30 or more years and revisit the old Pico Mountain.

 

[Guy in Shorts]

Ski Killington pretty much everyday. Winterized RV paired with the Ikon pass is letting us travel to different places.
