this christmas break, im planning to take a short trip to vermont from ohio. just wandering where i should go for the best all-around skiing. i was thing about stopping at whiteface, ny for a day and then going to jay/smuggs/mad river glen and stay at one of these for two days or go to two for one day each. any suggestions would help...

i wouldnt go to whiteface unless the weather is superb...which it probably wont be. head into VT and go to jay, stowe or smuggs. hit up mrg if its snowed A LOT!

we want to dki 4 days and have 2 days of driving... so i think we should go to resorts that are relatively close to eachother. ^isnt stowe preety far from jay and smuggs? also, we'd like to go somewhere with the minimal holiday crowd. keep the suggestions coming

I would say go to Jay, Jay always gets good snow, mad river probably won't have the snow the way things are going. Stowe is sick, You can ride smuggs to stowe but you would need a pass at both, cause they got anal about that my friend got in huge shit for trying to get on a stowe lift to go back over.

Things arent lookin so good right now hopfully we get some snow soon otherwise that trip probly wont be worth the time. Jay only has 10 trails open but they should get some more open soon. 3 inches yesterday and hopfully some real snow coming up.
