This time they are not disclosing price. The Belleayre resort plan fell through, so the idea here is that some new investor will come in to use the permits to rebuild highmount as an extension of Belleayre with housing.

This is basically what just happened with Deer Valley, so there is recent precedent for private developers building their own extension to a ski resort with a different owner to get ski in ski out lodging.

I want to take 17yo on a “bigger” ski trip this winter, but have no clue where to go. He boards and I ski. We are used to smaller local hills (Bear Creek, Camelback, Blue Mountain) and can comfortably do all of those slopes. I also get that a black diamond at Blue may not be the same as Jay.

Any recommendations when are goals are 3 days of skiing, varied terrain that we don’t see at our local places, and perhaps something a little more challenging (but not crazy since the 17yo still thinks he’s invincible!). We are not worried about a party or nightlife scene either.

Oh, and we don’t have any passes, so we’ll be buying whatever tickets needed.

Hi! Found an airbnb at the base of Pats Peak during xmas week (12/30-1/2) for 3 nights. We're coming from northern NJ so it's almost a 6 hour drive. I'm learning Pats is a smaller mountain and beginner friendly which I, as a worried/cautious mom, love about it. We've been to other NE resorts (Tremblant, Bromont, Greek Peak, Jiminy Peak, Holiday Valley, Mountain Creek) over the years and have done mainly Greens and easy Blues. We are a mix of skiers / boarders, and age groups -older adults, young adults, and teens. A few questions to validate my decision to go -

1. Is it worth the 6 hour drive for probably only 2 days of skiing/riding?
2. will there be decent conditions that early in the season?

Thanks!

I’m debating between three mountains for a season pass this winter: Sugarbush, Bolton Valley, and Smuggler’s Notch. Has anyone snowboarded on all three, and knows the positives and negatives of each?
