Stowe was assume. We left Thurday morning after Christmas and got up there to be pleasently surprized that they got about a foot of snow Christmas night.
Same deal with the inversion up there on Sunday. You'd expect it to be colder up top, but not the case.
Everything was open except Hayride I think, which they were making snow on. My daughter and her freind were on a mission to ski all the black diamonds so I was more than happy to show them where Goat, Liftline, Star, Bypass and some nice woods were
They can be a bit intimidating to a 13 year old. I witnessed an interesting dynamic with my daughter and her friend. My daughter is a better skier than her friend, but her friend has a "just do it" "go for it" "we'll never know if we don't try it" attitude. My daughter is a bit more cautious, but can handle most any terrain, where as her friend is a risk taker (funny her dad is an actuary) but not quite as skilled a skier. It was great to see them push each.
Skied Stratton on Wednesday and it was OK, but nothing compared to Stowe with a foot of new snow. Happy Holidays!!!
