I have a reading week Oct. 19th-27th, and am looking for the best place to ski for that week.

I don't care what continent, country or whatever. I'm looking for an adventure, and to ski.

sunday river is pretty good, the snow cover is good and there's usually a few features. By november, though, the park is SUPER fun

Anywhere that has snow.... But ya a-bay opens around the 10th and I'm pretty sure hood opens up again around that time or earlier? But on the east killington is usually open quite early

Early season Mt Boreals is always an amazing time. It really depends on the weather though. Last year Keystone had a crazy preseason park.

I think the clear answer here considering he said "any continent" would be either Portillo,Chile or Las Lenas,Argentina.

October is extremely late season in south america, only go there if you want the equivalent of our april skiing. I went to Chile last summer in August and the season was already past its prime, go to the NE for some preseason
