My high school ski club is already planning our big trip for next year. We're pretty much set on using this hostel http://www.roundhearth.com/, because of good recommendations, ease, and pricing. Now we need to decide - Stowe vs. Sugarbush. We'll get 3 days of skiing (2 midweek) because we have a 4 day weekend teacher work day deal. This trip is catered to mostly intermediate and advanced skiers, which is most of the club. I've been to Stowe and had a blast, haven't been to Sugarbush. For those that have been to both, how would you compare steeps, moguls, trees, park, and snow quality between the two - especially for dates below? What else should I know about Sugarbush that I don't already?
We're planning to be skiing there on Jan 25, 26, and 27th (really our only option besides winter or spring break for a trip 10 hours away). We were planning to drive through the night (er bus) the Weds. (24th) we get out of school, arrive in VT early the next morning and ski the next day. We're plannig to do sort of the same thing on the way back, drive through the night on Saturday after skiing and arrive back early on Sunday. I've been on drive through the night trips before personally and done fine, and again it really seems like our only option to get a reasonable amount of skiing in, plus midweek skiing = minimal lift lines. Does this seem like a reasonable plan?
We plan not to let any first time skiers on this trip - we do enough local day trips on tiny va/pa mountains where you have to try to get hurt for them to find out if they like it before coming on an expensive 3 day trip, an if they hate skiing the first day they don't have much to do the other 2 dars. We'll be requiring attendance on one of our day trips, or a trip last year, or an old lift ticket, or that you have your on equipment to come as proof of previous skiing.
Does any of this make sense? Thanks!
