Replying to Tips for Uphilling/Sidecountry

This year, I decided that rona can fuck right off and skiing for pretty much my mental health can't be cut short again. Living in southern CT, snow down here blows so urban isn't an option. Naturally, I'm gearing up to purchase daymakers so I can travel and hike to keep my season going. Im mainly going to be on cut trails (if mountains close) but might get into some other "out of bounds" stuff too, but nothing crazy by any means. Really Im looking for an easy way to hike up to features left in the ground in the worst case scenario, but its also nice to have the ability to head to Vermont for a weekend and find some untracked stuff.

Any rec on gear I should need, spots to check out, things to be aware of (safety, techniques, little useful bits of info etc) would be greatly appreciated!
