This soudns like a really expensive trip. If i were you I'd save the extra money and make a big trip out of it to Breck/Keystone. Buy a season pass for 350 (if your 18 or under) then just shred those mountain for however long you want. Just a suggestion. I live in MA too but go to school in CO and taking a ski road trip around the north east would be fun, but just wouldn't even compare to CO

Definitely these if you like to ski park. Plus, they're both relatively close to each other, so if you stayed in Plymouth (NH) you could hit both up in subsequent days.

Also, definitely Mt. Snow. Carinthia is DOPE!

we went to breck and keystone last winter im not sure if illl have the cash for it so im thinking it would be less money to drive to a few good resorts around here this year ur right vt and the east doesnt compare to keystone but to be honest i wasnt that impressed with breck it has some steeeps but it also has a lot of flat parts.. i was surprised but keystone on the otherhad i had a blast that place is the shit
