i dont get to ski much at school so a few friends and i wanna drive up over spring break and ski some vermont parks for a few days. does anyone know who holds down the best park at the end of the season, or anything about deals/prices as to save us some money while were up there by getting a good end of season deal or something. thanks

killyington right after spring loaded and grand prix park will be prime. you dont even need to buy a ticket, ther will be so much people there and the ticket checkers are chill they wont check. just act like you own the place and youll be fine.

Do stratton if you're spring break is right after the USOpen, which ends on March 23rd. After that, their park is real legit, and midweek lift tickets are like $40 with your college ID. Just stay somewhere far away.

sugarbush has a park pass you can buy for like $15.  deffinately worth spending a day there, and mount snow would be good too.  but if you're 19+ it's something like $72 for a pass.  which sucks.

whens your spring break? if it is after march 23rd stratton has the best park/pipe on the east. it is built by the best park builders in the world for the US open and it opens up to the public after.

Killy or stratton. but if you're strapped for cash hit up bolton Valley. no jokes. their park is set-up by burton and is super sick, lots of big jumps with pop, smooth rails... it impressed the hell out of me

defiantely go for jay peak. its the most north your gonna get, so canada's within a 5 minute drive. you pay for lodging and get tickets for free, and gets all the snow out there. hardly ever crowded, no matter what time of year. 

fresh as hell
