To all the small hillers without uber snowmaking or cold temps.....
How far would you drive for your first day back on the snow?
And to all the VT people, do you think this weekend would be worth a 6 hour drive from buffalo? For a 1 day of skiing?

Ehhh.. I wouldn't. I'm from Buffalo, and with the weather, we'll have skiing the weekend following this upcoming weekend.
If we get hammered with Lake Effect snow this saturday we might hike HV or KB to get some turns in.
Basically, my attitude is the conditions in Vermont aren't good enough to spend the money for this weekend, when there will be local skiing in a few days after.

i drove 3 hours to make one run and hike rails for like 6 hours. if i had the choice i would have rather taken runs all day but my lack of edges didn't allow that. still well worth the trip... but only 6 hours from buffalo to VT? i think you're looking at something more like 8 aren't you?
