yooo,
I'm driving out to VT in feb for vacation and going to be staying for a week or so to ski. Any suggestions? I've been looking at Killington, Jay peak, Stowe, smugglers notch.. It will be my first time in VT so any inputs good. Hills, resorts, night life ...
Thanks.. james.

start in the south and ski mount snows park, drive north and ski the mad river valley, if the snows good stoping at subarbush and ski the slide brook area if the snows nice and you can find soneone to show you the area, even if you cant sugarbush has some of the most divers terrain in vt and id say the north east, than go north 15 minutes and ski the single chair at mad river glen, its on the skiers bucket list and is awesome, once again if the snows good, they have some of the best ec skiing ive ever done, than finish by traveling all the way to almost the boarded and ski jay, its pretty much the closest to west coast skiing you can get on the east coast

One vote for Smuggler's Notch - without question the deepest snow I have ever skied in, here or out west. If you are looking for deep snow and awesome woods skiing, go there.  Not much for park or fast lifts though.
