Any suggestions for the best possible New England road trip this winter? Looking to hit as many mountains as possible with as much snow as possible in a a week or so? I would be up for Tuckerman's or anything else like that in the area, but also would want to hit regular mountains as well. Overall just wondering if there is a great New England ski trip that can be made.

I'd start in So. Vermont and work my up through and over to Maine. Tuck's isn't really skiable without avalanche knowledge midwinter and even then its closed most of the time cause of how dangerous it is.

Ya if you need to ask then stay away from Tucks until mid April. A vermont trip up rt 100 from snow to jay and all points in between would be coool

I'd say you wanna hit Killington, MRG, Sugarbush, Stowe, Jay Peak, and maybe something small like Magic for a different vibe. No shot you hit tucks at that point in the season so maybe if you're up during a late spring break you can go for it. If we have a decent season (#skitheleast) you should be able to hit lots of trees and some really fun terrain especially up at jay peak.

Bromley
Stratton
killington
loon
tucks
sunday river

stowe

and finish in Tremblant and rage hard in Montreal

If there's good snow and you're gonna hit loon then you might as well add cannon into the mix. It's 15 minutes away from loon and has a much better variety of terrain from loon's parks and groomers.
