Our mountain in Ontario opens around December so a weekend in November I'm looking to take a trip to Vermont. I can only go to a mountain that is ran by ski Vermont tho.

I'm looking at stowe, killington, and jay peak. Jay peak is the most close + they do cad to usd 1:1.

Which one has the best November park? I hear killington makes a fuck ton of snow.

Killington has a great early season park. Not sure about those other resorts, they're probably trash.

Killington easily has the best early season park. The only problem is that the first few weeks means its not top to bottom so they lift line further up for the park has insanely long lines. Ill probably go once its top to bottom.

Killington is by far the best early season. Last year when i went you had to take the ganjola down from the lift servicing the early season park, which made for a fun time.

Killington is probably the only one that's going to have a good early season park out of those.

If you're only concerned with park check out sugarbush. They generally built some legit stuff and have a decent scene. Not sure how early they'll have things rolling.

If you go later in the season check out jay. They've been improving their park a bit, but you'd really be best going if there's a snowstorm.

Depending on how far you're already driving, mount snow usually drops some good setups early. Went in 08 and 09 to shred in october there.

Also have had two parks open as early as mid november with top to bottom hits.

There's a good chance that Jay won't have a decent park by November

is this sarcasm?

I looked at some photos and jay peaks setup looked fire compared to our mountain.

Our mountain was bought out by some huge rich dicks and now they are only wanting profit so everything opens late and closes early. park is shit.

If you go to jay, do yourself a favor and go after a good midseason snow storm

Killington is really your only option for a park in November.

They didn't buy the whole mountain they already owned some of the hill and the village. We also had our longest season ever so don't complain they open late and close early. We closed the same week as breck

Yeah he was being sarcastic. Jay does have some cool parks for progression and stuff, but if you are going to make the trip you really want to take advantage of their terrain and hit it after a decent storm. Killy is going to be your best option for sure.
