Unexpected local event at Stowe in the same time frame - storm just hung there all Fri/Sat I will attest the 30-40in Stowe claimed over the weekend was for real -- and Sunday was a bluebird powder day (sorry no pics to back up) But check out the crazy rise at the Mt Mansfield Stake - Fri/Sat...

Visiting from NC for the week - been here since Saturday Stowe just went off today (thurs) - snow started overnight and continued at a good clip the whole day - at least 10" - in the woods there is untracked at silly depths... Rimrock glades great - ski straight across Cliff Trail into...

I have to agree that Stowe is the best... Great savings/deal through their VRM program if you can pull the trigger on buying tickets 7 days in advance. Great snowmaking system ensures if it is cold enough, there will be plenty of skiing Best off hill atmosphere - ski town - shops -...

Seattle and Portland have horrible traffic, especially Seattle (I think they blame all the Californians who escaped the high home prices in Silicon Valley, basically moved their problems North) (I worked for Intel for 14 years, we moved most of the engineering up their becasue it was easier...

Why not Southern NH? Close to 20 pretty decent resorts (loon, waterville, Killington, okemo, Stowe, Stratton, Sugarbush, etc.... Excellent Jobs in/around rt 495 also Some excellent school systems Not west coast, but I don't understand the need to be on the west coast, many of those places are...

Delta had the great airfare - booked about 3.5weeks ahead of travel dates (although only the RDU-SLC outbound is on a delta plane - SLC to Boise is on a regional carrier and the return trip on Northwest thru MN... The Jackson Hole trip sounds interested - is Grand Targhee the same distance?-...
