Thanks for saying hi. My girls are on the Mohawk Mtn race team so spend a lot of time there ... it's only an hour drive for us. Not the most exciting place but convenient. Plus I get to do a lot of fun things like practice one ski and backward skiing that I wouldn't be as comfortable with on steeper or more crowded trails. Alternative was to rent a winter place in Mass or VT but not ready to do that. We did consider Berkshire East and Butternut for race programs.
In VT I really have no allegiance to a particular resort. I'll usually ski Killington at T'giving, Stratton or Okemo in mid-December, maybe a trip to Mt Snow, then Stowe for sugar slalom. Mid-winter gets a trip out west and the rest of the time (mid-December through mid-March) is race season for the kids. I do have a friend who's a member at Hermitage so get there on rare occasions.
Nice. I've never been to Mohawk. They have cheap midweek prices so my plan is to call in sick this winter and check it out. It's about an hour drive for me too, we must be neighbors
. I'm in Fairfield. Practicing those drills on an uncrowded slope is key. We've often toyed with the idea of renting something in western Mass or Vermont. We like to bounce around a bit so it would have to be something sorta centrally located. I teach at Butternut and one of my friends there is one of the race coaches, I hear good things about it. Mount Snow, Bromley and Killington are my usual vermont places. My friend has a house near Bromley so we're there a few times a winter. One of my instructor peeps is an instructor at Hermitage, he pops up at Butternut once in a while. We'll be at Killington this thanksgviing and are there about every weekend from end of March til the end of the season. I bet we've crossed paths a bunch of times
You'll like Pug, it's a nice place.
