Alyson asked:
My boyfriend, another couple and i are planning on going away over New Years Eve. We want to stay at a ski resort and be able to ski. We are two young couples and would like to have things around us to go do. We were thinking of Loon in NH but not reconsidering. Are there any suggestions on what mountain and resort and if there are things to go close by. Thank You!

Have you considered Killington in Vermont? It’s huge and there’s usually entertainment there at night.

definitely vermont–those are the classic new england ski resorts…
killington area is great..–you can choose between okemo mountain or killington to ski–killington is widely known as the apres ski capital of the northeast, lots of quaint towns nearby to explore (woodstock) with shopping, Long Trail brewery is nearby,
or you can go to Stowe–you can either ski Stowe or Smugglers Notch, Stowe is amazing by the way but expensive, stowe is a quintessential new england town, Burlington is about 45 minutes away, Ben & Jerrys factory tour is nearby, plus many quaint towns with dairy/maple farms, shopping, etc…
..skip new hampshire, Vermont ski areas are way better

Definately go to Killingon, by far they have the best nightlift and skiing in New England. Killington Grand Resort is beautiful but somewhat expensive… other nice hotels are Mountain Green Resort & Inn at Six Mountains. You will not be dissapointed. There’s also shuttles that cart you around all night long!

It depends. Killington is awesome. They’ve got 200 trails and a plethora of places to stay. On the downside, its very expensive. I ski almost every weekend in the winter. Until last winter, I skied at Killington. The resort was sold and the new company raised the prices of everything. We buy season passes and my parents said that they were too expensive.
If you aren’t looking to spend a ton of money, Okemo is good. This is where I skied last winter and will be going there again this winter. They have 117 trails. The lift tickets are a little bit cheaper here. Okemo is ranked number 2 in grooming in the east. I think(but don’t quote me on this) they have 98% snowmaking. If its cold, they will blow snow everynight. On the downside, it is a little bit of an easier mountain than Killington. Don’t get me wrong…they do have some steeps, just not as many as Killington. Also, there aren’t a ton of places to stay, so the motels in Ludlow do book up fast. If you are going there, make your reservation ASAP! Have fun!!!!
