I am thinking of making a weekend trip to Whiteface. Is it good for trees, powder, and steeps? Or are some places in VT better for that, like Stratton?

trees powder and steeps... I'd say whiteface as a whole is steeper than stratton, trees... I don't know which is better, powder, it hasn't snowed lately on the EC has it? If you want trees and steeps, sounds like you want to go to Jay Peak...

Whiteface is probably the steepest mtn on the east, they have some sick trees that are open now, pow will be the same anywhere on the EC

I agree with Alex, but there's not much for powder here these days...should have been here 2 weeks ago. Although they are calling for some accumulation on friday/saturday...6 inches I heard?

stratton is one of the flattest mountains on the east. I was wondering, for those of you who have skied whiteface, is it really that sick? I know it gets icy, but I've never been and would like to sometime
