stuff you should change:
The new york resorts to Waterville and Loon
And extend the length of this trip to "winter Months"

killington may seem awesome to you compared to michigan but my opinion is skip killington and go to sugarbush or something like that cause the skiing there is much better but if youre just looking for park than go to killington

whats the word on whiteface? someone wanna tell me what i should do here, and take into account driving times. and i need cheapass hotels. 4 to 5 days. and a little bit of park but the real reason is long runs with awesome snow and skiing.

whiteface is a nice mountain if you're looking for good groomers and glades and such. idk about their parks, but there's also lots to do in town if you have some time. it just gets really really cold. whiteface is more of a "vacation" that you would take and spend a few days skiing and a few days doing other stuff.

bristol wont have a park worth skiing up by then and the rest of the mountain is just racing trails and ice.
I would try and make a little money between now and then, and find some cheap plane tickets to somewhere out west. Southwest usually has 200 round trip tickets at odd times and if you know anyone out west just sleep on there floor.
If you must go east, loon, waterville, and mt snow are the best parks to hit up

jay peak is the best resort snow wise in the east. you'd be a fool to skip it. jay peak stowe maybe killy or okemo and thats it.

Whiteface is awesome. So high up. It doesn't feel like an eastern mountain. And if you're lucky and the slides are open, thats some of the gnarliest bc in the East.
