Anyone ever ski Stowe, VT?

Sure have, used to be my spring break destination of choice. I really enjoyed Stowe (at least before it became part of the EpicPass), some challenging runs like Upper Goat but also a good variety of easy greens and blues on the left side of the trail map by the tollhouse lift. Think there's a waffle shop at the top of the gondola that's pretty good. Base camps are fine, easy walk from the parking lot to the lifts. I have had icy days, rain turned to snow days, and powder days so you can get any type of weather there, hence why we'd usually go in March/April for some spring skiing.

In comparison to Colorado, you already know that CO has much higher peaks and steeper terrain so you're usually going to get better skiing in CO than VT. But if you haven't been before and you're looking for a laid back atmosphere with good intermediate to slightly expert skiing plus a cool city nearby (Burlington), I'd recommend.

And who could forget ben and jerrys on the way in/out of town? Also Cabot for some free cheese samples

Full disclosure- I haven't been out west to ski.

Stowe is mighty fine. The town is chill, with above average restaurants and some good Apres Ski watering holes. If you like to ski off-piste you can take a short hike off the gondola up to the top of Mt Mansfield and ski in some nice open terrain.

Skiing the East is a different beast. I grew up on it and learned how to use my edges. There can (and will) be some icy days, but the powder days are worth it. Jay Peak will always be the King of the Pow, but Stowe has a nice constant of terrain and snow.

If you go, stop in at the Matterhorn and ask at the bar if you can see the coloring book.

I've never been to New England. Would be cool to spend a day in Boston and head to Stowe.
