Any east coast mountains have snow at their resort?

Just got back from skiing pow in WV, and if the weather didn't ruin it the snow is still there and lots of it.  Timberline was still pure sex when we left yesterday around noon.

$100 passes are the norm in the industry now. Get used to it. They are only going up

Wisp in Md has over 2ft...its finally packed powder and fast! You can run shuttle from the top parking lot to almost any trail. Im on my sixth day already from the sandy storm and I skied to work this morning! It looks like mid-30's all week, snow should stick around.

Not Jay, they just dropped their rates even after building that massive resort hotel, water park and buying Burke.

Also Magic was running specials that had lift tickets 60-something-percent off, and their regular rate is only like $59/day anyways.   

The deals are there, you just have to actually be looking for them and not sitting around waiting for someone to knock on your door with a special offer lol.  Oh yeah, and fuck Stowe unless my buddy is hoooking me up with his discount.  I wouldn't pay a hundo a day for any amount of skiing.  Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that.  Besides, I like Smuggs better anyways. 

If you didn't know, Stowe's mission is to literally rape and pillage the second home owners keeping up with the Jonses.  It's just what they do and they'll always prey on the rich douches who will pay whatever just to be at Stowe- SKI CAPITAL OF THE EAST lol...  Which is sort of true, but not for 99% of the people who will never see the slackcountry off the resort, y'know?  So if you don't like it, pick a resort that gives a fuck.

Hopefully Jay pulls off this "new Jay ski resort" plan they got going. They are dumping a lot of money into that place. Some pretty big risks for sure.

Not really a risk for them, they literally have a cash fountain in their visa program.  They literally cannot lose, and probably make more money on that than skiing and hospitality combined.  Skiing at this point is just a front for Jay haha...  Not really but sort of.
